The part you made up. The gal that refused to print homosexual wedding invitations moved her business out of the Seattle area. Repeating your error won't make it true.If you live in Washington State outside Seattle and own a printing business and routinely accept commissions to do wedding invitations you can't refuse to print wedding invitations based on the customers race, creed, color, national origin, sexual orientation, sex, honorably discharged veteran or military status, status as a mother breastfeeding her child, etc.
What part of the State level law are you not comprehending?
#1 I have no idea about the "gal" you are talking about. Care to provide a link to a news story so I can gain understanding.
#2 What part of the following did I make up? This is the Washington State Statute on Public Accommodations.
