A baker in Colorado who won a U.S. Supreme Court case over religious freedom violated a state anti-discrimination law when he refused to make a cake celebrating a gender transition, the state’s Court of Appeals ruled on Jan. 26.

Lawyers for the baker, Jack Phillips of Masterpiece Cakeshop, have already announced they plan to appeal against the ruling.
