The Supreme Court's ruling fr 303 Creative won't be the last time Coloradans hear of the case — or its effects.
, whose parent company, Recycle God’s Love, includes language on its website declaring,"This organization holds that a homosexual lifestyle is contrary to God’s Word and purpose for humanity and is sin .” She says that businesses like the Drip may be doing these things to get a reaction or spark a lawsuit like Smith’s.
“The U.S. Supreme Court’s misguided decision today paves the way for businesses offering customized expressive services to violate that state law and discriminate against historically marginalized groups,” said Deborah Richardson, executive director of ACLU of Colorado, in a statement released June 30. “Businesses open to the public must be open to all.”
Warner disagrees, saying that he expects the decision can be used as a defense by many people the government tries to force to express messages that go against their beliefs. The ADF is still arguing on behalf of Lakewood’s — owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop — who wouldn’t bake a cake for a gay couple in 2012. The Supreme Court heard his case in 2018, determining that Colorado had acted in a hostile manner toward Phillips over his beliefs, ruling in his favor in Masterpiece Cakeshop v.
Because the Supreme Court didn’t rule on the freedom-of-expression aspect of Phillips’s original case, Smith’s legal battle became necessary, Warner continues. In fact, the Phillips case is what initially led Smith to the ADF. But while these cases keep coming, people should not lose hope, suggests legal scholar and activist Z Williams, who co-runs Bread and Roses Legal Center — which aims to promote social justice in the legal system, including for LGBTQ people.
