(katbert) We’ve heard of past cases where wedding industry businesses (from bakeries to trolley companies) refused to deal with same-sex couples, but one couple says it was even worse when their local florist declined to provide flowers for their wedding, because she’s a long-time friend.  The Washington attorney general has subsequently filed a consumer action against the florist. According to the Los Angeles Times, the customer had been frequenting the florist’s shop for years, but then reportedly told him she wouldn’t do the flowers for his wedding to his partner “because of my relationship with Jesus Christ.” The lawsuit seeks $2,000 in fines for each violation, and wants to require the shop to comply with the state’s consumer protection laws.
