Religious freedom suffered another setback this week when the Washington Supreme Court ruled on Thursday against a Christian florist who refused to service a same-sex wedding on religious grounds.
According to Fox News, the court ruled that Barronelle Stutzman, owner of Arlene’s Flowers, “violated the Washington Law Against Discrimination (WLAD) for refusing to make floral arrangements for a gay couple in 2013.” Similar to the Masterpiece Cakeshop case, Stutzman did not wish to make a custom arrangement for the wedding, which would have required her to lend her artistic creativity to an event that violated her religious beliefs. She did, however, offer to sell the couple whatever pre-made floral arrangement they wished.
