Compulsory to Help Promote Lesbianism?

A lesbian took a couple of documentaries promoting homosexuality to Tim Bono of Bono Film & Video in Arlington, Virgina and asked him to duplicate them for her. Mr Bono has a Christian committment and refused to do the work on the grounds that he did not wish to do anything to support homosexuality.

Instead of finding another business to do the work, the lesbian complained to the Arlington Human Rights Commission, who ordered Mr Bono to do the work. So far he has refused. There is a new hearing on the matter scheduled for this Saturday. A Christian group, Liberty Counsel, has threatened to sue the Arlington Human Rights Commission (presumably on First Amendment grounds) if the matter goes any further:

"Mr. Bono does not have to reproduce a customer's hate speech, obscenity or pornography, nor may a customer hijack Mr. Bono's business and force him to promote a homosexual agenda," said Mat Staver, president of Liberty Counsel. "[Bono] can also refuse to duplicate a homosexual propaganda video without discriminating on the basis of a person's sexual preference."

The ACLU, of course, says that Mr Bono should be compelled to do the work. I wonder what that "L" in ACLU stands for these days? It can't be "liberty".
