Contributing sentiments towards policy:

47% : The same-sex couple whose request for a wedding website was cited in a major case resulting in a Supreme Court decision that undercut LGBTQ rights may not actually exist.
45% : On Friday morning, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 along ideological lines that a Colorado graphic designer who wanted to create wedding websites could choose not to make them for same-sex couples despite a state law that protected against discrimination sexual orientation, race, gender and other characteristics.
45% :The ADF criticized Kreiger's ruling in a statement, lamenting that "A federal judge ruled that Smith and her studio can't sue to challenge a portion of Colorado's Anti-Discrimination Act because a request sent to Smith by a couple, self-identified as 'Stewart' and 'Mike,' isn't formal enough to prove that a same-sex couple has asked her to help them celebrate their wedding."
42% : In September 2017, U.S. district judge Marcia Kreiger dismissed parts of Smith's case, writing, "Assuming that it indicates a market for Plaintiffs' services, it is not clear that Stewart and Mike are a same-sex couple (as such names can be used by members of both sexes) and it does not explicitly request website services, without which there can be no refusal by Plaintiffs."
