FYI - Deed restrictions are also unconstitutional per SCOTUS (see Reed vs Gilbert AZ). One can sign away their 1st amendment right, but they can also reclaim that right at any time. That's the power of constitutionally protected rights.
Reed vs Town of Gilbert doesn't mention HOA's, in any way.

Deed Restrictions are private agreements and the 1st Amendment doesn't apply to private entities, nor does the US Constitution regulate private contracts.

If you paid an attorney for that legal opinion, is it too late to request a refund?
