Mattingly Wyatt, Tarrant & Combs James C. Seiffert Stites & Harbison William G. Strench Frost Brown Todd Small/Medium Firms Hyman v. City of Louisville John E. Hanley II Valenti Hanley & Robinson In 2001, Dr. J. Barrett Hyman challenged two of the city��s anti-discrimination ordinances, adopted in February 1999, which prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. Due to his religious beliefs about acceptable sexual behavior, he sought to hire only pro-life monogamous heterosexuals to work in his gynecology practice. He attempted to place an employment ad in the Courier-Journal seeking ��Pro-Life and Traditional ProFamily�� applicants (which the newspaper declined to run, in accordance with the ordinance), and he questioned job applicants about their sexual orientation, also a violation of the ordinance. Hyman argued that he was placed in an impossible position of choosing between the law and his religious beliefs, and the ordinances should therefore be struck down because they violated his right to free speech and freedom of religion. District Judge Charles R. Simpson III ruled that because commercial speech (such as the employment ad) is not protected by the First Amendment, and because this type of ordinance is within the rights of a local government to enact, Hyman��s motion was denied. Hyman��s 2002 appeal was dismissed by a three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals, ruling that Hyman did not have legal standing to mle the original lawsuit: Without an immediate or projected need to hire an employee, Hyman was not harmed in any way by the ordinance. ��� TA Workers��� Compensation Law Large Firms G.
