The court ruled 6-3 long ideological lines that the First Amendment bars Colorado from “forcing a website designer to create expressive designs speaking messages with which the designer disagrees.”
It should be noted that the entire case was predicated on a lie. The website designer was suing to not have to make a wedding website for a same-sex wedding. They were never asked to do that in the first place. The guy who was asking for the website is married to a woman, so…yeah, the website designer just made things up when making the case.
Also, the ruling specifics from Gorsuch are terrifying, because he added in a comment in his ruling that this also applied to things like the Boy Scouts firing a gay scout master because they have a “religiously held belief” against gay people.
