The owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop can proceed with his lawsuit against the state of Colorado after a judge refused to dismiss the case.
Jack Phillips has accused the Colorado Civil Rights Commission of anti-religious bias because it punished him for refusing to bake a cake celebrating gender transition. Phillips, represented by Alliance Defending Freedom, filed suit when the state chose to prosecute him even after he won his case at the U.S. Supreme Court in June.
Judge Wiley Y. Daniel of the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado ruled the suit against the state can move forward.
“Colorado is acting in bad faith and with bias toward Jack,” said ADF Senior Counsel Jim Campbell. “We look forward to moving forward with this lawsuit to ensure that Jack isn’t forced to create custom cakes that express messages in conflict with his faith.”

Every once in a while we win one for the common man, against the freaks and the Government.
YES!!
Need to make the State of Colorado PAY for all the stress and financial difficulty caused Mr. Phillips. Otherwise, they’ll just keep using taxpayers’ money to bully and extort with no consequences. This needs to be a precedent case for the courts.
Thank God.
We The People need more Wins for the Common Man !
Three words that are the foundation of a free society: PRIVATE. PROPERTY. RIGHTS!
They belong back in the closet.
I hope he takes the State for a TON of money, and individually who made the decision for the State of Colorado, I hope he suffers also. Nothing is done in a vacuum, one person decides to go after the bakery, and that one guy should pay the price, personally and a lot of money, I hope. The libs need to be taught a lesson that we are tired of laying down cowering under the libs pressures. Enough. I’d volunteer to be on his jury.
I think pain and suffering by all the time in life points needs to be taken in to account. Mr. Phillips has been oppressed by sexual deviants who were forcing him to comply with their perverted lifestyle. These gender what-ever-the-hecks could have easily found a baker more in sync with their lifestyles, without all the hateful, willful persecution that caused Jack so much wasted time. Let’s hope Jack, and hopefully, the ‘hungry’ lawyer will teach the Liberal Rocky mountain HIGH State a lesson they will not soon forget.
Here we go again. Our tax dollars are going to pay for this. The two queers, who started this suit should be responsible for this debt. And stick it to them. Wish luck buddy.
