Supreme Court rules for website designer who doesn't want to serve same-sex couples

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : The First Amendment prohibits the state of Colorado from forcing a website designer to create expressive designs speaking messages with which the designer disagrees, the majority held.
48% : It's the latest high-court dispute over whether people can use the First Amendment to avoid complying with anti-discrimination laws.
45% : Recall the 2018 decision in Masterpiece Cakeshop, where the court ruled for a baker who, citing his Christian beliefs, didn't want to make a cake for a same-sex couple (in that case, unlike here, the couple actually sought a cake from the baker).
41% : The case the court decided Friday, also from Colorado, involved Lorie Smith, who said she doesn't want to make wedding websites for same-sex couples due to her religious beliefs as a Christian.
