Supreme Court says 1st Amendment entitles web designer to refuse same-sex wedding work
The court ruled 6-3 long ideological lines that the First Amendment bars Colorado from "forcing a website designer to create expressive designs speaking messages with which the designer disagrees."
It should be noted that the entire case was predicated on a lie. The website designer was suing to not have to make a wedding website for a same-sex wedding. They were never asked to do that in the first place. The guy who was asking for the website is married to a woman, so...yeah, the website designer just made things up when making the case.
Also, the ruling specifics from Gorsuch are terrifying, because he added in a comment in his ruling that this also applied to things like the Boy Scouts firing a gay scout master because they have a "religiously held belief" against gay people.
Racial segregation returning on the basis of religion when?
Let's not forget- the KKK is a religious group. There's a reason they burn crosses.
probably not for warmth, given that it doesnt get that cold in the deep south
Arguably, Gorsuch's wording with this decision might allow that now. He basically made a broad "religiously held beliefs trump all" claim in there.
Would be a shame if her business or all businesses like hers suddenly lost so much patronage that they completely failed and she became homeless or something.
Does it mean you can put a sign on your business' door: "We don't serve MAGAsses"?
