The only article I can find on this ruling is from WorldNet, which of course is notoriously right wing. I did some searches for a progressive or at least objective article on the matter, but was not successful.

9th Circuit endorses censoring Christians

A ruling from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has concluded that municipal employers have the right to censor the words "natural family," "marriage" and "family values" because that is hate speech and could scare workers.

The ruling came in a case being handled by the Pro-Family Law Center, which promised an appeal of the drastic result.

"We are going to take this case right up the steps of the United States Supreme Court," said Richard D. Ackerman, who along with Scott Lively argued the case for the Pro-Family Law Center.
