Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : Their client, Lorie Smith, is a graphic artist and web site designer who says she wants to expand her business to design custom websites for weddings, but not for same sex-couples.
48% : It could give business owners an exemption based on their religion to refuse to provide flowers, photography or other products or services for a same-sex marriage.
46% : Now the same lawyers for the Alliance Defending Freedom who represented the baker are back before the court and are seeking a broader ruling that would give conservative Christians a partial exemption from state laws that would require them to participate, even indirectly, in a same-sex marriage.
39% : The Supreme Court on Tuesday agreed to decide whether a conservative Christian woman who designs websites may refuse to work with same-sex couples, even though a state civil rights law requires businesses to be fully open to all customers without regard to their sexual orientation.
33% : "Requiring the company to produce the same services for same-sex couples that it produces for opposite-sex couples does not require it to speak in favor of same-sex marriage," they said.
21% : "But she cannot create websites that promote messages contrary to her faith, such as messages that condone violence or promote sexual immorality, abortion, or same-sex marriage."
