Florist discriminated against gay couple, Washington state Supreme Court rules

State of Washington v. Arlene's Flowers

 

“You chose to attack my faith and pursue this not simply as a matter of law, but to threaten my very means of working, eating, and having a home. If you are serious about clarifying the law, then I urge you to drop your claims against my home, business, and other assets and pursue the legal claims through the appeal process.” -- Barronelle Stutzman

Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson has doggedly pursue the case -- not just to define the law, but to egregiously punish Stutzman as well. The justices ruled that Stutzman violated Washington Law Against Discrimination. If so, WLAD is poorly written and should be found unconstitutional by our Supreme Court of the United States.
