Colorado baker Jack Phillips won his U.S. Supreme Court case on Monday, and the religious right is having a great time spinning the truth about his case. Phillips took the liberty of claiming on Tuesday that he does not discriminate, despite refusing to bake wedding cakes for same-sex couples.

"I don’t discriminate against anybody. I serve everybody that comes into my shop," Phillips told the "Today" show (video below). "I don’t create cakes for every message that people ask me to create."

Despite what many on the right are claiming, Phillips won his case at the nation's highest court only because seven of the nine justices found the Colorado commission charged with deciding discrimination cases acted with "hostility" towards Phillips, not because he did or did not discriminate.

In fact, the Supreme Court made clear it was not ruling on the discrimination charge. Further, the seven justices who ruled for Phillips all agreed that the rights of LGBT people in the marketplace must be protected.
