46% : The Supreme Court has ruled that the First Amendment means that Colorado can't enforce its anti-discrimination law against a Christian web designer in 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis on a 6-3 vote split along partisan lines.
43% : A business open to the public seeks to deny gay and lesbian customers the fulland equal enjoyment of its services based on the owner's religious belief that same-sex marriages are 'false.'
43% : The business argues, and a majority of the Court agrees, that because the business offers services that are customized and expressive, the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment shields the business from a generally applicable law that prohibits discrimination in the sale of publicly available goods and services.
34% : The case was brought in 2016 by a web designer named Lori Smith, who says that Colorado's anti-discrimination law might make her make websites for same-sex couples even though she wants to make them only for opposite-sex couples.
