The Supreme Court on Friday sided with a Christian graphic designer who refuses to work on same-sex weddings.
In a 6-3 decision along ideological lines, the court ruled that Colorado cannot force graphic designer Lorie Smith to create designs celebrating same-sex marriage.
“The First Amendment prohibits Colorado from forcing a website designer to create expressive designs speaking messages with which the designer disagrees,” Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote for the majority.
The court’s case resolves 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis, which pitted Smith’s graphic and web design company against the state of Colorado.

“Under Colorado’s logic, the government may compel anyone who speaks for pay on a given topic to accept all commissions on that same topic — no matter the message — if the topic somehow implicates a customer’s statutorily protected trait,” Gorsuch wrote for the majority.
