    The case involves an incident from June 2017, when lawyer Autumn Scardina said she asked for a cake with a pink interior and blue exterior to celebrate the anniversary of transitioning from male to female. "The woman on the phone told me they do not make cakes celebrating gender changes," Scardina wrote in a complaint to Colorado's Division of Civil Rights.

If I were a baker, I'd bake a cake for anybody. Fundamentally, I think there's a problem with permitting merchants to exclude entire classes of people for any reason unrelated to safety. But I also think this wasn't a customer looking for a cake, this was a lawyer looking for a constitutional challenge.
