A petition for review (full text) in Olympus Spa v. Armstrong, (Sup. Ct., certiorari filed 8/10/2026), was filed with the Supreme Court yesterday. In the case, the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld against 1st Amendment challenges enforcement of Washington state's anti-discrimination law. Defendant is a family-run, Christian, Korean style spa. The spa admits only "biological women", including transgender women who have received gender confirmation surgery, but excludes transgender women who have not completed that surgery. ADF issued a press release announcing the filing of the certiorari petition.
