On Thursday, lawyers on behalf of two Christian owners of a calligraphy art studio, Breanna Koski and Joanna Duka, preemptively filed a lawsuit against the city of Phoenix over its so-called LGBT non-discrimination ordinance to ensure their rights guaranteed to them by the First Amendment.
The owners of Brush & Nib Studio fear that such an ordinance would force them into creating art for ceremonies which violate their religious precepts. Additionally, attorneys argue that, because the studio creates art, their transactions “should be considered free speech that cannot be censored or compelled by government,” reports The Daily Caller.
