Doe v. California Lutheran High School Association
editPrior to May 2009, the school accused two 16-year-old girls of possessing a "bond of intimacy" "characteristic of a lesbian relationship" and expelled them both. In 2009, the California Supreme Court ruled that it did not have to comply with the Unruh Civil Rights Act, a California state law preventing businesses from discriminating, because the school was a social organization and not a business. This was based on a 1998 state Supreme Court decision that defined the Boy Scouts as a social organization.[4]
