US Supreme Court finds in favor of web designer who refused to create websites for LGBTQ+ couples

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

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.
46% : Gorsuch also cited the case Boy Scouts of America v. Dale, where the Court found in favor of a Boy Scout policy banning LGBTQ+ people from participating in scouting, despite a New Jersey public accommodations anti-discrimination law.
36% : Justice Neil Gorsuch, writing for the majority, emphasized that while anti-discrimination laws are constitutional, it is not constitutional to compel someone to make art, as art is akin to speech.
33% : The opinion rests on the precedential case of Hurley v. Irish-American Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Group of Boston, Inc, in which an LGBTQ+ group was banned from a St. Patrick's Day Parade and sued under a Massachusetts public accommodation anti-discrimination law.
