Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : That's the sort of compelled speech that the First Amendment typically forbids.
46% : This question first arose in Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission (2018), where the Supreme Court ruled in favor of a baker who refused to bake a wedding cake for a same-sex couple.
43% : So it's unlikely that this Court will allow Colorado to apply its anti-discrimination law to religious objectors, because the law does contain an exception for secular businesses such as single-sex gyms.
42% : As a 5-4 Court held in Tandon v. Newsom (2021), "government regulations are not neutral and generally applicable . .
41% : Then, in Fulton v. City of Philadelphia (2021), the Court handed down a similar nothingburger opinion, ruling in favor of a government contractor that refused to work with same-sex couples seeking to foster a child -- but on exceedingly narrow grounds.
40% : States have historically been allowed to decide which forms of discrimination they wish to prohibit and which ones they wish to permit, and there is a great deal of variation among state anti-discrimination laws.
39% : In any event, the plaintiffs in 303 Creative argue that Colorado's anti-discrimination law is not neutral or generally applicable because it only applies to certain forms of discrimination.
38% : In the past few years, the Supreme Court danced around the question of whether religious conservatives have a constitutional right to violate anti-discrimination laws -- and specifically laws prohibiting discrimination against LGBTQ people.
