'If you buy the argument of Hands On Originals, they can do anything they want in the name of religion,' said Ed Dove of the Lexington Human Rights Commission.
The Kentucky Supreme Court will hear a case involving a Christian t-shirt maker who refused to make shirts for a state LGBT organization, claiming it violated his religious principles.
A statement on the Hands On website indicates the company"both employs and conducts business with people of all genders, races, religions, sexual orientations, and national origins." "The evidence is clear that Hands On Originals serves everyone—and just doesn't print certain messages," ADF counsel Joe Campbell told the justices on Friday. "The First Amendment in this case cuts in Hands On Originals' favor—[it] ensures that the government can't use a law to force someone to print or convey a message that they find objectionable."
"If you buy the argument of Hands On Originals, they can do anything they want in the name of religion," said Ed Dove an attorney for the Human Rights Commission."That's why we have a public accommodations ordinance: to stop businesses from allowing certain populations to be discriminated against and not enjoy the goods and services that are being offered by that business," said commission chair Ray Sexton.
