Pope Francis has announced the canonization of a web designer, marking the first time a millennial has been declared a saint. This decision highlights the Catholic Church's recognition of modern contributions to faith and society.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of a Colorado web designer, Lorie Smith, who can refuse to create wedding websites for same-sex couples. However, it has been revealed that a request from a man named "Stewart," which was cited by Smith's attorneys during the case, was denied by Stewart himself, stating that he never made the request. This revelation has raised questions about the validity of the case and distracted from Smith's victory, which is seen as a setback for gay rights. Smith's lawyer suggested that the request could have been made by a troll, while the Colorado Attorney General called the lawsuit a "made up case" since Smith wasn't offering wedding website services when the suit was filed.
The Supreme Court has ruled that a web designer has the right to refuse to create wedding announcements for same-sex couples based on religious beliefs, in a case that highlights the tension between anti-discrimination laws and religious freedom. The court's decision, which was narrowly in favor of the web designer, raises concerns about potential discrimination against LGBTQ+ individuals and the scope of religious exemptions in public accommodations.
