Supreme Court Sides With Christian Web Designer In Compelled Speech Case

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : The limited grounds of the decision, which found the Colorado Civil Rights Commission demonstrated "impermissible hostility" in Phillips' case but did not answer whether the law itself violated the First Amendment, allowed another activist to sue Phillips in 2021 after he declined to make a cake celebrating a gender transition.
52% : Smith, owner of 303 Creative and represented by the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), challenged the law as a violation of the First Amendment: while she wants to create websites that reflect her deeply held belief that marriage is between one man and one woman, the law would compel her to also create wedding websites for same-sex marriages.
36% : The Supreme Court sided with a Christian graphic designer Thursday, clarifying that a Colorado law cannot compel her to create websites for same-sex couples against her religious beliefs.
