54% : With the landmark decision -- which falls in line with many of the SCOTUS justices' conservative stances -- a precedent has now been set that in certain instances, U.S. businesses can legally deny their services to LGBTQ+ people under the First Amendment."To illustrate, imagine a funeral home in rural Mississippi agrees to transport and cremate the body of an elderly man who has passed away, and to host a memorial lunch," Sotomayor wrote in HER dissent.
49% : The court ruled 6-3 in favor of a Christian web designer from Colorado, who cited the First Amendment to argue that she should not be forced to design wedding websites for same-sex clients.
43% : Sotomayor also wrote of how, historically, some have discriminated against the LGBTQ+ community "under the backing of the law," noting how, "For most of American history, there were laws criminalizing same-sex intimacy.
40% : Despite the preemptive nature of her complaint, as she has not yet designed wedding websites or had to turn away same-sex couples, the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case.
38% : Smith sued Colorado in an attempt to block the enforcement of its anti-discrimination law.
