'Victory for Free Speech' at Supreme Court in Christian Web Designer Case

The Supreme Court held Friday that the State of Colorado cannot force a website designer to create messages that support same-sex marriages against her religious beliefs, citing her rights under the First Amendment.

The case, 300 Creative LLC v. Elenis et al., was decided by 6-3 majority, with all of the court’s Republican appointees siding with the website designer, and all three of the Democratic appointees opposing her suit.

Free speech advocates, such as civil libertarian and George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley, hailed the ruling:

we have the first decision. It is 303 Creative and it is written by Gorsuch.
