Supreme Court rules businesses can turn away same-sex couples, despite anti-discrimination law

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : In a 6-3 vote, the conservative majority ruled that "the First Amendment prohibits Colorado from forcing a website designer to create expressive designs speaking messages with which the designer disagrees," The New York Times summarized.
48% : "The First Amendment envisions the United States as a rich and complex place where all persons are free to think and speak as they wish, not as the government demands," Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote in the majority opinion.
45% : The decision came on the same day court rejected Biden's student loan forgiveness plan and a day after striking down affirmative action.
40% : The Supreme Court sided with a Christan graphic artist from Colorado who argued her beliefs prohibited her from creating wedding sites for same-sex couples, despite the state's anti-discrimination laws.
34% : In what is being "framed as a clash between free speech and gay rights," the case was the latest blow in a series of Supreme Court decisions that favored religious freedom, the Times added.
27% : The court ruling "also appeared to suggest that the rights of LGBTQ people, including to same-sex marriage, are on more vulnerable legal footing," the Times added, "particularly when they are at odds with claims of religious freedom."
