Brief summary of the article
Olympus Spa, a women-only Korean spa in Washington, has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to consider its dispute over admitting transgender women who have not undergone gender-confirmation surgery to its nude communal spaces. The spa argues that enforcement of Washington's anti-discrimination law violates its Christian owners' First Amendment rights, while the state maintains that the spa's policy violates protections against gender-identity discrimination. The petition follows earlier federal court rulings against the spa, and the Supreme Court has not yet decided whether it will hear the case.

nude communal spaces

I wasn't aware that nude communal spaces were a Christian tenet.
I may need to reread that part of the Bible.
