SCOTUS Anti-LGBTQ Case Includes ‘Falsified’ Claim Alleging a Straight Married Man Asked for a Same-Sex Marriage Website: Report
Attorneys for a Colorado web designer using her personal Christian beliefs to sue over the state’s anti-discrimination law have reportedly included in their court filings a claim that a man, after their case was initially filed in 2016, asked her to create a website for his upcoming same-sex wedding.
The case, 303 Creative vs. Elenis, went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which heard oral arguments in December and likely will hand down its decision Friday.
The web designer, Lorie Smith, says she wants to expand her business to make wedding websites, but says she can’t because rejecting a same-sex couple’s request could violate Colorado law, and her religious beliefs do not support same-sex marriage.
Initially, no same-sex couple had asked her make a website for their wedding — not surprising since she wasn’t in the business of making wedding websites.
