Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : Twitter users were incensed at the Supreme Court following its decision to rule in favor of an evangelical Christian web designer who refused to cater to same-sex couples.
40% : The Court ruled in her favor under the Constitution's First Amendment, arguing that Smith has the right to refuse to endorse messages she does not believe in and that she cannot be punished by Colorado's anti-discrimination law.
39% : Smith sued the state in 2016, citing that she would reject requests made by same-sex couples based on religious grounds.
38% : Adding to the frustration around the case, Smith was never penalized for rejecting a same-sex couple, and it was unclear if she ever professionally rejected anyone from the LGBTQ community.
