The US Supreme Court recently ruled in a case involving a Christian graphic artist who refused to design wedding websites for same-sex couples. The court ruled 6 to 3 in favor of the artist, Lorie Smithwho argued that her actions were protected by the First Amendment right to free speech.
The case began in 2016 when Smith filed a lawsuit against the state of Colorado, alleging that the state’s anti-discrimination law violated her rights.
The request, from a person identified as “Steward‘, was not the basis for the federal lawsuit that Smith preemptively filed seven years ago before she started creating wedding websites. However, her attorneys brought it up as the case progressed when attorneys representing the state of Colorado questioned the grounds for Smith’s lawsuit.
