Supreme Court Case Reveals Discrimination and Deception in Wedding Website Controversy

A Colorado woman, Lorie Smith, who claimed that her opposition to same-sex marriage prevented her from designing wedding websites, leading to a recent US Supreme Court ruling against LGBTQ+ rights, appears to have designed at least one wedding website before it was removed from her portfolio. The discovery by the New Republic raises questions about the authenticity of the case, which was represented by the right-wing Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF). The ADF accused the New Republic of manufacturing attacks on Smith, while Smith's attorneys argued that her free speech rights were violated by a Colorado anti-discrimination law. LGBTQ+ groups and advocates of equal treatment under the law have expressed concern over the potential fabrication of the case.
