SCOTUS to Hear Religious Freedom/LGBT Discrimination Case

The Supreme Court on Tuesday said it will decide whether a Colorado designer can tell same-sex couples she will not create a website for their weddings, reviving the issue of where to draw the line between someone's religious beliefs and protections against discrimination for LGBTQ people. At issue is the same Colorado anti-discrimination law that came before the court in 2018, when the justices ruled for baker Jack Phillips, who refused to create a wedding cake for a gay couple. The justices decided the Colorado Civil Rights Commission displayed bias against religious views in ruling against Phillips. But they did not resolve the larger question of when businesses may invoke religious objections to refuse service.
