Existing Cases Highlight Risks

Two lesbian students expelled from California Lutheran High School are seeking to require the school to retain gay students in violation of its religious beliefs.

Yeshiva University, an Orthodox Jewish school in New York, was required to accept same sex couples in its married student housing.

In Berkeley and San Diego, scouting groups that do not allow gays to serve as leaders have been denied the use of free public facilities they historically enjoyed.

A Methodist camp meeting facility in New Jersey was sued, and lost, when it denied permission for a same sex couple to use its chapel for a civil union ceremony. In a related case, it has also lost its property tax exemption.

The New Mexico Human Rights Commission awarded $6,600 to a same-sex couple when a photographer refused to film their commitment ceremony because it violated her religious beliefs.
