Poland's Supreme Court rules against print shop worker who refused to make banner for LGBT group

BY AVERY ANAPOL - 06/16/18 07:37 AM EDT

The Polish Supreme Court ruled this week against a print-shop worker who refused to create a banner for an LGBT group, a decision hailed as a victory by gay rights groups in the country.

The court upheld a lower-court ruling that the Lodz-based worker violated Polish laws that prohibit the denial of professional services “without a valid reason,” according to the Financial Times.

The print shop worker refused to create the banner, saying that it would have promoted gay rights.

The ruling comes less than two weeks after the U.S. Supreme Court narrowly sided with a Colorado baker who refused to make a custom cake for a same-sex wedding.
