Kentucky Supreme Court Has Sided With Shop Owner Who Refused To Make Gay Pride T-Shirt
“The Kentucky Supreme Court has sided with a print shop owner who refused to make a gay pride T-shirt because it was against his religious beliefs,” ‘NBC News’ reports.
Two lower courts also ruled in favor of Lexington print shop Hands-On Originals and then the site’s high court followed.
"While this result is no doubt disappointing to many interested in this case and its potential outcome, the fact that the wrong party filed the complaint makes the discrimination analysis almost impossible to conduct, including issues related to freedom of expression and religion," the justices wrote in the ruling.
The shop owner said after a hearing before the Supreme Court in August that the T-shirt he was asked to print "goes against my conscience.”
