DENVER BAKERY VIOLATES ANTI-DISCRIMINATION ACT - AGAIN

Colorado bakery, Masterpiece Cakeshop, has violated the Colorado AntiDiscrimination Act. Owner Jack Phillips refused a customized birthday cake for trans woman, Autumn Scardina.

Scardina said the cake was a multipurpose cake: for her birthday and her gender transition.

This is the second time Phillips has been taken to court because of discrimination.

“In the earlier case, Phillips refused to produce a wedding cake for Charlie Craig and David Mullins in 2012 because of his religious objections to same-sex marriage,” reported Gay City News. “He believed that making a custom-designed wedding cake for them would communicate approval for their marriage, which violated his religious beliefs. Phillips lost before the Colorado Civil Rights Commission and the Court of Appeals.”

San Diego Hrc Gives Lgbt Homeless Supplies

The San Diego Human Rights Campaign organized their annual giveaway to LGBT homeless. The organization put together 700 backpacks filled with shampoo, gloves, and other essentials.

“A large percentage of our homeless youth here in San Diego are from the LGBTQ+ community. They’ve been ostracized or shut off from their homes,” Layne Rackley, a member of the San Diego Human Rights Campaign, told Go Mag. A previous study conducted by The Trevor Project showed that 28% of LGBT youths “experience homelessness or housing instability at some point of their life.”
