TL;DR Summary

A man whose name appeared in court documents as having requested a same-sex wedding website from a Christian graphic artist is denying ever contacting the company, but legal experts say it wouldn't impact the Supreme Court's ruling in favor of the artist. The man, identified as Stewart, claims he was already married to his wife when the alleged request was made. The inclusion of the request did not trigger the lawsuit, but was cited by the artist's attorneys to argue that she had grounds to sue. While the alleged email from Stewart raises questions about the case, it did not play a fundamental role in the court's decision, which focused on the artist's First Amendment protections.
