Christian florist pays gay couple denied wedding services $5,000, withdraws SCOTUS appeal
(Worthy News) – A Christian florist in Washington state is ending an eight-year legal battle to protect her religious beliefs and “artistic freedoms” from compulsion to participate in a same-sex wedding.
Barronelle Stutzman, owner of Arlene’s Flowers, will pay $5,000 to the gay couple, Robert Ingersoll and Curt Freed, who sued her for refusing to make floral arrangements for their wedding, according to a settlement reached Thursday.
The parties on Wednesday filed a joint stipulation to dismiss Stutzman’s petition for rehearing to the Supreme Court. [ Source: Just the News (Read More…) ]
