washingtonblade.comThe U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday announced that it will hear oral arguments on Dec. 5 in the case of a Colorado-based web designer, 303 Creative LLC v.
Elenis, who sued to challenge state’s anti-discrimination law as she was refusing to work on websites for same-sex couples’.
Last fall, the Southern Poverty Law Center-listed hate legal group representing Lorie Smith, the Alliance Defending Freedom, had asked the high court on an appeal from the U.S.
Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit to review the case. Smith claimed in court filings that the Colorado law violated Smith’s freedom of speech and freedom of religious expression, citing that it would force her to design wedding websites for same-sex couples which violated her “Christian” beliefs.
