Had the shirt said "Being gay is the way" or "Support gay sex" I'd give them a pass but they are saying because their organization is about being gay we disagree with their message. That is a no no.

As to did they refuse to serve them, the answer is yes. Printing is part of their business meaning they refused part of their business offering to a specific group based on their sexual orientation. How would printing the shirts be endorsing it with their name brand? Does the printer put their name on the shirts they print? If so, would not putting it on these shirts be a reasonable accommodation? I don't see how selling them the shirts wouldn't be any more an endorsement then printing them if in both cases no one knows who sold/printed them.

It was not their name he disagreed with printing it was the message of taking pride in being gay. The name of the Company is Gay and Lesbian Services Organization. You may not like that he feels it is nothing to be proud of but I don't think you can force him to use his intellectual and tangible property to promote it.

Should he be required to create a T-Shirt for Budweiser that says "Drink until you get toasted" if he feels drinking to access is a sin?  Should a homosexual business owner be forced to print shirts that say "Gos says marriage is only between a man and woman"?



With that said; I appreciate your civil responses in this back and forth. We just disagree on the outcome as do others. Here a article about a homosexual business owner supporting the T-Shirt makers choice.

I don't think she should be forced to print a shirt that says "Be proud that God only recognizes a marriage between a man and woman", but we probably disagree on that as well.
