A lawyer for Jack Phillips on Wednesday urged Colorado’s appeals court — largely on procedural grounds — to overturn last year’s ruling in a lawsuit brought by a transgender woman.At trial last year, Phillips, a Christian, testified he did not think someone could change genders and he would not celebrate “somebody who thinks that they can.”Jake Warner, an attorney representing Phillips from the conservative Christian legal advocacy group Alliance Defending Freedom, said the ruling was wrong.Judge Timothy Schutz noted Phillips’ wife initially told Scardina the bakery could make the cake before Scardina volunteered that the design was meant to celebrate her gender transition.Iran's crackdown on protests intensifies in Kurdish regionLas Vegas Jewish community buys back synagogue from dioceseUnited Methodists are breaking up in a slow-motion schismUK sanctions Iranian officials over protests crackdownOne of Scardina’s lawyers, John McHugh, said Scardina did not ask the shop to endorse her idea, just sell her a cake that they would sell anyone else.The high court did not rule then on the larger issue of whether a business can invoke religious objections to refuse service to LGBTQ people."
