ST. LOUIS, Mo. - A St. Louis couple said a wedding dress designer refused to make a garment for them, saying it goes against her faith.
Tiffany Allen and Angel Lane said they reached out to the New York-based company, D. AUXILLY, through e-mail to get some information. They said the designer, Dominique Galbraith, responded with the following e-mail that said in part:
Marcia McCormick, a professor with the St. Louis University School of Law said the company is violating the law.
"The dressmaker is violating New York State law that prohibits discrimination on basis of sexual orientation," she told KTVI.
McCormick said while Missouri's laws surrounding the issue do prohibit discrimination, that does not include sexual orientation. She said the law that would apply in this case is the one where the dress designer is based.
KTVI reached out to the company for comment, but e-mails, phone calls and social media messages went unanswered.
The couple said they plan to file a formal complaint against the company and said they will consider filing a lawsuit.
