U.S. District Judge Sean Cox ruled today that R.G. & G.R. Harris Funeral Home’s Owner Thomas Rost
did not discriminate against Aimee Stephens, formerly Anthony Stephens, when he fired her.
In his ruling, Cox wrote that requiring the funeral home to do something it was religiously opposed to because of discrimination laws “would impose a substantial burden on its ability to conduct business in accordance with its sincerely-held religious beliefs.”
