The U.S. Supreme Court today (March 18, 2019) declined to hear oral arguments in a case about a Hawaiian bed and breakfast inn that refused on religious grounds to serve a lesbian couple, allowing a lower court ruling against the business to stand, according to the Christian Post website.
In an order released today, the high court denied a petition for a writ of certiorari in the case of Cervelli v. Aloha Bed & Breakfast, thus upholding a lower court ruling against the small business.
Phyllis Young, owner of the three-room Aloha Bed & Breakfast, will now face a penalty for the refusal in 2007 to rent a room to Diane Cervelli and Taeko Bufford.
In 2011, Young was sued by the lesbian couple over the 2007 incident, being represented by the pro-LGBT law firm Lambda Legal.
