The Supreme Court on Friday backed a web designer who wants to decline to create websites for same-sex weddings because of her religious beliefs – the latest legal setback for LGBTQ Americans from the high court.
Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote the opinion for a 6-3 majority. The case was decided on ideological lines.
“Laws along these lines have done much to secure the civil rights of all Americans,” Gorsuch wrote. “But in this particular case Colorado does not just seek to ensure the sale of goods or services on equal terms. It seeksto use its law to compel an individual to create speech she does not believe.”
