Case Summary

On May 17, 2018, a Catholic foster care and social services agency filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, against the City of Philadelphia. The plaintiffs, represented by private counsel and by conservative public interest organization Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, alleged that the City revoked new referrals of foster children to their organization because of their faith-based opposition to same-sex marriage. The complaint sought monetary an…

The plaintiffs asserted that the City's decision to revoke new foster care referrals breached their contract with the City and targeted them on religious grounds. According to the plaintiffs, the city had previously exempted them from providing foster care services to same-sex couples, so the City's contract was ambiguous on whether they were required to provide these services to same-sex couples. They also alleged that the public statements made by the Mayor of Philadelphia and other public officials criticizing their refusal to serve same-sex couples indicated the city's decision to suspend the contract constituted religious discrimination.

On June 7, 2018, the plaintiffs filed a motion for a temporary restraining order (TRO) and preliminary injunction requesting that the court reinstate referrals of foster children to the plaintiff. The defendants argued that the plaintiffs violated the City's Fair Practice Ordinance, which forbids discrimination against individuals in public accommodations and was clearly included in the contract. Since the defendants were acting on behalf of the city, and the City was previously unaware of the plaintiffs' refusal to serve otherwise qualified same-sex couples, the defendants argued that they were within their right to suspend the contract.

On July 13, 2018, Judge Tucker denied the plaintiffs' motion for preliminary injunction and TRO. Judge Tucker held that the parties' intent was clear: the Fair Practices Ordinance applied to the contract and that plaintiffs' services fell within "public accommodations." Therefore, the plaintiffs were required to serve anyone who sought their services. 320 F.Supp.3d 661. The Court rejected the defendants' claims that this violated the Free Exercise Clause; it held that the city's policy was facially neutral and also found that there was insufficient discriminatory intent to trigger strict scrutiny review.

The plaintiffs appealed on the same day of this decision. On April 22, 2019, the United State Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit affirmed the lower court's decision, in an opinion by Judge Thomas L. Ambro. The Court of Appeals held that the City's nondiscrimination policy was neutral and that the religious views of the plaintiff did not entitle it to an exemption from the policy. Additionally, the Third Circuit found that the City had not targeted the plaintiffs "for [their] religious beliefs" nor was its decision "motivated by ill will against [the plaintiffs’] religion, rather than sincere opposition to discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation." 922 F.3d 140.

The plaintiffs petitioned the Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari on July 22, 2019. The Supreme Court granted certiorari on February 24, 2020. 140 S.Ct. 1104. Numerous parties filed amici curiae briefs for both the plaintiff and the defendant. A group of United States Senators advocated for granting the injunction on religious liberty grounds, while others argued for preserving the lower court's decision and reasoning.

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the case on November 4, 2020, and their decision was announced on June 17, 2021. The Court unanimously held that the refusal of the defendants to contract with the plaintiff unless they agreed to certify same-sex couples was a violation of the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment. In his opinion, Chief Justice Roberts, writing for six members of the court, found that the actions of the defendants “have burdened CSS’s religious exercise by putting it to the choice of curtailing its mission or approving relationships inconsistent with its beliefs.” 593 U.S. ___ (2021). The majority’s narrow holding was based on the assessment that the neutral and generally applicable standard derived from Employment Division v. Smith, 494 U.S. 872, did not apply because the defendant’s nondiscrimination provision permitted exemptions for agencies at the sole discretion of the commissioner. Furthermore, because the defendants gave no compelling reason for not extending those exemptions to cases of religious hardship, the Court found that the policy was not generally applicable. As such, the Court held that the City’s actions violated the First Amendment’s Free Exercise Clause.

The Court also held that the Fair Practices Ordinance, which prohibited discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation in public accommodations, was inappplicable to the defendant’s actions. Finding that certification as a foster parent is not a service which is “readily accessible to the public,” Chief Justice Roberts characterized the foster care certification process as an individualized process and assessment that is unlike staying in a hotel or riding a bus.

Back in the district court, the parties moved for consent judgment that effectuated the Supreme Court’s decision. As such, the court on October 1, 2021, entered a permanent injunction as to the plaintiffs’ Free Exercise claim and dismissed the remainder of their claims.

This case is now closed.
