Couple Sues Printer Over Substitution of Anti-Gay Pamphlets For Wedding Programs
The New York Post this week reports on a lawsuit filed in Massachusetts federal district court against Vistaprint. The company's North American Business Headquarters are located in Boston. Plaintiffs are a same-sex couple who were married in a ceremony in Pennsylvania last September. The couple had ordered 100 copies of a customized program for their wedding. When they opened the package Vistaprint sent to them, they found that instead of the programs they had been sent 80 copies of an anti-gay pamphlet titled "‘Understanding Temptation: Fight the good fight of the faith." The pamphlets warn: "Satan entices your flesh with evil desires." Vistaprint, which says it would not discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation, indicated that it had just learned of the incident and have begun an internal investigation.
