The Arizona Supreme Court ruled Sept. 16 that the city of Phoenix can’t use a criminal law to compel two artists to produce custom wedding invitations for LGBT couples because that would force them to express messages that conflict with their personal religious beliefs.
Joanna Duka and Breanna Koski of Phoenix-based Brush & Nib Studio were threatened by the city with as much as six months of jail time, $2,500 in fines, and three years of probation for each day the city found them in violation of the law.
