The Christian baker who lost a court case this week for declining to make a transgender “reveal” cake, and was sensationally villainized by the liberal media, made a beautiful dessert for Log Cabin Republicans in April.
Jack Phillips, a Denver-based baker and owner of Masterpiece Cake Shop, has been repeatedly targeted by LGBTQ activists twice over his Christian beliefs.
Phillips has been demonized as a “bigot,” “homophobe” and nearly every other unsavory term you can think of by the liberal media. Contrary to their claims, in April, he created a beautiful cake for the Colorado Log Cabin Republicans to celebrate their Get Outspoken website.

What they did to Jack at Masterpiece Cakeshop was wrong. He’s a great guy who made @COlogcabin, an LGBT Republican group, a cake with our @GetOutspokenUSA logo on it. He’s not a homophobe and his religious views should be respected.#LGBTQ #GayCake pic.twitter.com/CpXAJgYMS0

The first time that Phillips was sued over his religious beliefs it was for refusing to make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple.
The same day that the Supreme Court announced that they would take the case, he was targeted again. This time, by a transgender LGBTQ attorney who asked him to make a pink and blue cake to honor their gender transition.
Phillips had said that he had no problem serving LGBTQ customers by making brownies, cookies or regular cakes — but simply did not want to use his artistic talents in ways that went against his religious beliefs — he also will not make Halloween cakes. He declined to make the trans cake.
The person behind the trans cake lawsuit, Autumn Scardinia, admitted in the court case against the baker that they were seeking to “challenge the veracity” of his statement and “call [his] bluff.”
Despite the obvious set up, this week a Denver District Court sided with Scardinia and fined him $500 fine for violating Colorado’s anti-discrimination laws. His legal team has said that they will appeal the decision.
“Defendants admit that they were willing to make the requested cake until Ms. Scardina identified that she chose the colors to reflect and celebrate her identity as a transgender female,” judge A. Bruce Jones wrote in his ruling. “Defendants are, however, willing to make cakes for non-transgender individuals that reflect that person’s gender. And Defendants would ‘gladly’ make an identical-looking cake for other customers.”
Prior to the court’s decision, Phillips wrote an op-ed for Fox News explaining that “it seems clear that activists intend to keep harassing me – not because the Constitution doesn’t protect my religious freedom and my right to decide for myself what messages I will and will not communicate, but because some people simply disagree with my faith and want to punish me for it.”
