Catholic Bookstore Owner Sues City of Jacksonville Over Use of Pronouns | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The owner of a Catholic bookstore in Florida is suing the city of Jacksonville. She says a law there, threatens both the practice of her faith and her business. The owner of Queen of Angels Bookstore says she gladly serves all customers, but she cannot use pronouns that do not align with a customer's biological sex. The city's ordnance forbids communication that could make someone feel "unwelcome." Senior Counsel in the Center for Conscience Initiatives, Hal Frampton, joins to tell us about the city of Jacksonville's human rights ordnance and who it aims to protect. Frampton discusses why the ordnance was enacted in the first place and whether there was a particular incident that led to the creation of the law. He shares what is at stake for Queen of Angels Bookstore and whether this law could ultimately shut them down. Frampton fills us in on how the owner is doing and whether this has impacted her business. In many ways this case is not unique as it seems like recently there have been a number of cases like this. The senior counsel in the Center for Conscience Initiatives explains what he thinks this means. He talks about what is next for this case.
