A petition for certiorari (full text) was filed yesterday with the U.S. Supreme Court in Seattle's Union Gospel Mission v. Woods, (cert. filed 8/2/2020). In the case, Washington state's Supreme Court held that, as applied, the religious and non-profit exemption to the state's anti-discrimination law may be unconstitutional. Plaintiff in the case was denied employment as a staff attorney by a Christian legal aid program for the homeless because he was in a same-sex relationship. (See prior posting.) ADF issued a press release announcing the filing of the petition for review.
