Landmark First Amendment Case: Graphic Designer Refuses Same-Sex Wedding Websites

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the 303 Creative case, which could be a landmark First Amendment case. Lori Smith, a graphic designer from Colorado, is challenging the state's anti-discrimination law, arguing that she should not be compelled to create wedding websites for same-sex couples, based on her religious beliefs. This case mirrors the previous Masterpiece Cakeshop case involving a Colorado baker. Legal experts predict that the Supreme Court, now leaning conservative, will likely rule in favor of Lori Smith, hoping for a clearer protection of conscience for individuals with religious objections. The decision could have broad implications for businesses and their ability to refuse services based on religious beliefs.
