Supreme Court Backs Christian Web Designer in LGBTQ Protections Case

The Supreme Court ruled in favor of a Christian web designer in Colorado who refused to create websites for same-sex weddings due to religious objections. The 6-3 decision, written by Justice Neil Gorsuch, represents a blow to LGBTQ protections and is seen as a victory for religious conservatives. The ruling, rooted in free speech grounds, allows businesses that sell "expressive" goods to bypass state public accommodation laws. Critics argue that the decision grants businesses the right to discriminate against protected classes and sets a dangerous precedent. LGBTQ advocates and civil rights organizations have condemned the ruling, while supporters argue it upholds First Amendment rights.
