Podcast: Free Speech, Same-Sex Marriage, and Anti-Discrimination LawsĭECISION: : In a 6-3 decision from Justice Neil Gorsuch, the Court held that the First Amendment prohibits Colorado from forcing a website designer to create expressive designs speaking messages with which the designer disagrees. The Court is considering if a Colorado public-accommodation law violates the First Amendment’s Free Speech Clause if it compels a website artist and designer to speak or stay silent. In this case, an artist declined to design a website for a same-sex wedding, stating it was against her religious beliefs.
