Supreme Court rules for web designer who refused to work on same-sex weddings
The court issued a major ruling on whether businesses can refuse to sell certain products and services if they disagree with the message the customer wishes to convey.
The Supreme Court ruled on Monday that a web designer can refuse to create websites for same-sex weddings on religious grounds. The case involved a Colorado web designer named Lorie Smith, who refused to create a website for a same-sex couple's wedding. The couple filed a complaint with the Colorado Civil Rights Commission, alleging that Smith's refusal violated their civil rights.

The "gay man" this woman claims contacted her to have a wedding website made:
- Isn't gay.
- Was already married at the time she claims he contacted her about the website.
- Denies ever contacting anyone about a wedding website, because, uh, he's already married.
So it's fake but not gay? I don't know how to process this.
Christo-fascists falsifying cases in attempts to set precedent in MY legal system? Why I never….
Wtf. This can't be true? Or do they just say, "fuck it, we're still debating the principle of the fictional matter!"?
That's exactly what happened. This case was nothing more than a "thought project" and should have been tossed before it was even heard. That said, the ruling is accurate because: In a fictional scenario you can do whatever you want.
