Pres. Biden calls the Supreme Court's ruling 'disappointing' and expresses concern about the potential fallout.
In a 6-3 decision for the conservative majority written by Justice Neil Gorsuch, the court said wedding websites are a form of speech and Colorado's anti-discrimination law cannot force a designer to express something she does not wish to express. More broadly speaking, the ruling said certain businesses can refuse some services to LGBTQ+ people or any customer whose message they might oppose and wish not to express.
Smith, who opposes gay marriage, said the law forced her to express support for something that violates her religious beliefs in violation of her constitutional rights. Sotomayor warned the effect of the decision is not limited to the LGBTQ+ community, writing "the decision's logic cannot be limited to discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity."
"This deeply concerning opinion is far out of step with the will of the American people and American values," Weiser said. "The opinion represents a radical departure from decades of Court precedent and fails to uphold the principle of 'Equal Justice for All' inscribed on the U.S. Supreme Court building.
