Religion has historically been used to justify segregation, slavery, and misogyny, and was repeatedly used in the 1960s to challenge civil rights laws. These facts are not up for debate. The florist’s discriminatory practices ‘demean’ her faith far more than anything the Washington Attorney General has said or done.
I have to agree with the American Atheist, and the bolded is especially insightful. Discrimination in the name of religion is ugly and it's been done before, and courts rejected it.
