In its decision permitting an evangelical Christian web designer to refuse service for same-sex weddings, the court again embraced an expansive view of religious interests at the expense of protections for LGBT people.
Isn’t it illegal to reject a customer due to religious belief? This does comes back to the question of “what is speech?” Maybe it’s like porn where you know it when you see it :P
I don’t exactly disagree with the ruling, just with the conservative backsliding the Supreme Court has been doing, I’m concerned about what this ruling might encourage in terms of growing the interpretation of speech and creative expression to provide work arounds to the civil rights act for those who wish to discriminate.
But hey, I could be overly worried for nothing. I sure hope I am.
