Phillips, a longtime ADF client, “works with all people and always decides whether to take a project based on what message a cake will express, not who is requesting it,” the organization says. It’s accepting donations to defend Phillips and other people of faith who are “punished” for their beliefs.
Scardina’s lawyer, John McHugh, says Phillips and his bakery “just object to the idea of Ms. Scardina wanting a birthday cake that reflects her status as a transgender woman because they object to the existence of transgender people.”
