Jul 6, 2021Supreme Court turns away florist who refused same-sex wedding job - pressherald.com
In 2018 the high court ordered Washington state courts to take a new look at the case involving florist Barronelle Stutzman and her Arlene’s Flowers business. That followed the justices’ decision in a different case involving a Colorado baker who declined to make a cake for a same-sex wedding.
After that review, the Washington Supreme Court ruled unanimously that state courts did not act with animosity toward religion when they ruled Stutzman broke the state’s anti-discrimination laws by refusing on religious grounds to provide flowers for the wedding of Rob Ingersoll and Curt Freed.
Stutzman had sold Ingersoll flowers for nearly a decade and knew he was gay. But she contended his marriage went against her religious beliefs and she felt she could not provide services for the event.
Washington state law says businesses offering services to opposite-sex couples must provide the same service to same-sex couples.

Jun 19, 2020Jeanette Barron | Obituary - Andover Townsman
Andover - Jeanette Barron, 80, passed away on Thursday, May 28, 2020, surrounded by her loving family at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston after a brief illness. She was the beloved wife of the late William Barron, and daughter to the late Louis F. and Marie Ange (Rochette) Perreault. Jeanette was a longtime resident of Andover, Mass. Born and raised in Danvers, Mass., Jeanette graduated from Danvers High School, where she was a proud member of the Marching Band. She trained as a nurse at the North Shore Babies' Hospital in Salem, Mass. After raising her children, Jeanette worked for The Network, and then at H&R Block.

Feb 27, 2020Valentine's Day isn't all roses for Santa Fe florists - Santa Fe New Mexican
It’s a really time-sensitive business,” said Pacific Floral Design owner Devan Barron. “That’s the curse.”While Barron and his staff were “a step ahead” Thursday, he acknowledged it would be difficult to keep up on Friday, a day with more than 50 deliveries, not counting last-minute requests, for his small staff to complete. He said he planned to shut off his phone Friday and only accept online orders at that point.“People just don’t realize how much work goes into it,” said Amanda Schutz, owner of the one-woman-production All The Pretty Flowers.Like other florists, Schutz said she preordered flowers at least one month before the holiday — an already tricky endeavor because the exact order count is never certain. Once flowers arrive, florists must store them at the proper temperature — typically between 33 and 38 degrees — and schedule deliveries according to requested drop-off times and locations.Arranging the flowers is the more creative part of the Valentine’s rush, yet it still requires precision. Prepping roses involves stripping thorns, removing ugly leaves, plucking petals that guard the flower, dipping the stem in a preservative and arranging the flowers in a neat and creative way, said Arana, who can churn out an arrangement of a dozen roses in under five minutes.For most small operations, Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day are vitally important to having a good year. But Feb. 14 is the rush that seems to create most of the stress.Ramsey noted there aren’t quite as many recipients on Mother’s Day, whereas Valentine’s Day creates the need to “send to their mother, grandmother, their kids, their wife, the other woman they go out with,” she said with a laugh.Additionally, Mother’s Day deliveries are spread out across a week, allowing more flexibility.Despite the bustle of the week, the florists are still partial to Valentine’s Day — if only because there’s a devotion to creating something beautiful at a time when it matters most.“You know you’re making something special for someone,” Hamilton said. “I like to imagine who it’s going to. Knowing it’s going to make somebody happy — I like that.”

Nov 15, 2018Florist case reopens before Washington Supreme Court
Olympia, Wash., Nov 14, 2018 / 10:28 am (CNA/EWTN News).- Attorneys representing florist Barronelle Stutzman filed their opening brief with the Washington Supreme Court on Tuesday, as the court re-hears the case after its previous ruling was reversed.In June, the U.S. Supreme Court vacated a previous Washington state ruling against Stutzman, who in 2013 declined to make flower arrangements for a same-sex wedding.
The U.S. Supreme Court sent the case back to the Washington Supreme Court, instructing that the case be reconsidered in the light of Masterpiece Cakeshop.
In that decision, the U.S. Supreme Court sided with Christian cake baker Jack Phillips, who had declined to make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple. The Supreme Court ruled that the Colorado Civil Rights Commission had shown an impermissible hostility toward religion in their handling of the case.
Stutzman's attorneys have argued that a similar hostility against religion was on display in the handling of Stuzman's case by Washington's attorney general.
"While the attorney general failed to prosecute a busine...
Nov 15, 2018The Arlene's Flowers case is back in the state Supreme Court – here's why
Court's decision in a separate but similar matter involving a Colorado baker who refused to make a wedding cake for a gay couple.
Attorneys for Barronelle Stutzman, owner of Arlene's Flowers, filed their opening brief this week.
More briefs - on both sides - will be filed over the next couple of months.
The state Supreme Court could hear oral arguments during its winter term, which runs from January to March, but more likely will hear them in the spring term, which runs from April to June, said Lorrie Thompson, a state court spokeswoman.
U.S. Supreme Court justices returned the case to the state court "for further consideration" in light of the federal ruling in favor of the Colorado baker. In that June ruling, justices didn't decide the case's larger issue - which also is at the heart of the Arlene's Flowers case - of whether a business can use religious objections to refuse services to LGBTQ people.
But they did find that the Colorado Civil Rights Commission was hostile to the baker's religion in that instance.
Kristen Waggoner of Alliance Defending Freedom, who's representing Stutzman, said Washington's government has been openly hostile to her client's religious beliefs and the Colorado decision shows there's no place for that in society.
"We are asking the Washington Supreme Court to affirm that in this case," she said in a statement.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Washington is representi...
