Attorneys In Supreme Court LGBTQ+ Rights Case Could Be Disbarred If They Lied About Key Document
thegailygrind.comThe attorneys who represented a Colorado web designer who the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Friday could refuse to make wedding websites for same-sex couples over her religious objections, could be disbarred amid new reports that appear to refute the veracity of a key document that lies at the center of the case.
On Friday, the last day of Pride month, the Supreme Court’s 6-3 conservative majority ruled in favor of Lorie Smith, a Colorado web designer who argued she should not have to serve same-sex customers due to her religious beliefs as a Christian, and that prohibiting her business from doing so would violate her First Amendment rights.
One of the key documents that both sides of the case repeatedly referenced during the trial was an inquiry Smith said she received from a gay man who was asking her to build a website for his upcoming wedding.
But days before the court issued its final ruling, the man who allegedly submitted the request says he never asked to work with her and says he’s straight and happily married to a woman.
