A Christian baker who won a major religious freedom case last year at the Supreme Court claimed victory again Tuesday when the Colorado Civil Rights Commission announced it was voluntarily withdrawing a suit for his failure to bake a cake celebrating transgenderism. Jack Phillips, owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop, had won a landmark ruling against the commission at the Supreme Court in 2018 when, weeks later, the commission opened an additional case against him.
Colorado’s attorney general announced Tuesday the commission reached an agreement with Phillips to voluntarily dismiss the case. For his part, Phillips and Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) agreed to voluntarily dismiss their federal lawsuit against the state. In January, a federal judge refused Colorado’s request to dismiss ADF’s suit.
