US Supreme Court turns down case of florist who refused to service same-sex couple

US Supreme Court turns down case of florist who refused to service same-sex coupleThe US Supreme Court on Monday ordered a lower court to reconsider the case against a Washington state florist who was fined for refusing to sell flowers for a same-sex wedding on religious grounds. The decision follows the top US court's June 4 ruling in favor of a Colorado baker who had been found guilty of discrimination for refusing to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple on the basis of his Christian beliefs. The top US court sent the case -- involving florist Barronelle Stutzman, who said her Christian convictions barred her from selling a wedding floral arrangement to a same-sex couple -- back to the Washington state supreme court for further consideration.
