Barronelle Stutzman’s fight isn’t over

Published November 21, 2021 6:49pm ET



After nearly 10 years in court, Washington florist Barronelle Stutzman has settled a case that began when she declined to create a floral arrangement for a gay couple’s wedding. But just because her own fight for religious freedom is coming to an end does not mean Stutzman has given up. Far from it.

As part of the settlement, Stutzman agreed to pay Rob Ingersoll, the former customer whose wedding Stutzman refused to service, $5,000 and sell her business to her employees. She also agreed to withdraw her petition for reconsideration before the Supreme Court, and in turn, the American Civil Liberties Union vowed to drop its lawsuit against her.
