We fear this decision is going to worsen the confusion in the minds of the public about whether you can legally discriminate in the name of religion. The bottom line is that you should not be able to treat patients in a discriminatory way.

[The] decision brings to an end years of wasted court resources brought about by a fringe group of people opposed to even the most basic protections for thousands of California families headed by same-sex couples. We look forward to the day when all families are treated fairly under the law in California, and that day will be when marriage becomes equally available to all committed couples.

We are interested in serious, incremental work in order to succeed.

Our client's doctors' behavior goes against established medical ethics and violates California civil rights law.

What makes it discriminatory is that it requires women to present themselves in a particularly feminine way.

When we made the initial decision on the election date we hadn't really thought about the extra cost and confusion.
