40% : The case grew out of a campaign by a conservative Christian group, the Alliance Defending Freedom, fighting against Colorado's strict anti-discrimination laws.
39% : Smith said that creating marriage announcements for same-sex couples would be "inconsistent" with her Christian beliefs and being compelled to do so would violate her First Amendment free speech rights.
35% : But leading the dissent of the court's three liberal justices, Sonia Sotomayor warned that it risks being applied to any business as part of a wider "backlash" to the moves toward LGBTQ equality.
27% : The US Supreme Court ruled Friday that some private businesses can refuse service to same-sex couples for religious reasons, in a landmark erosion of anti-discrimination laws.
