A legal finding that said the organization did not have standing under the law to bring the suit for discrimination, not that they weren't discriminated against. Same thing as discrimination for being fat.

I never say I won't print that shirt for you because you're fat. Were you discriminated against because of weight?
Yes.

Same message with a thin person bringing it, or message replaced with "thin"? Fat community is being discriminated against with same message, even though individual is not.
