Supreme Court Ruling on 303 Creative and Free Speech
The Supreme Court rules 6-3 in favor of Christian web designer Lori Smith, stating she cannot be compelled by Colorado law to create websites for same-sex weddings. The court distinguishes this as a free speech issue involving "artistic expression" rather than a simple refusal of service. Justice Sotomayor issues a sharp dissent, arguing the decision marks LGBTQ citizens as "second-class."
