No First Amendment Right Not to Sell Bridal Outfit for Same-Sex Wedding

A New York appellate court held that a bridal-wear business violated state law by refusing to sell an already-designed, publicly marketed jumpsuit for a same-sex wedding. The First Amendment did not shield it, since selling the garment is not expressive speech and the law is neutral toward religion; $5,000 in damages and a $20,000 penalty were upheld.
