Abstract: 

In State of Washington v. Arleneā€™s Flowers, 187 Wash.2d 804 (2017), theWashington Supreme Court had to decide between the conflicting rights of a gay man to purchase flowers from a shop open to the public and the right, if any, of the business owner to refuse to do businesswith a gay or lesbian person. The case, which we analyze here, is relevant for any college or university that leases or licenses space on campus to a retail business or concessionaire.
