Justice Neil M. Gorsuch’s majority opinion upholds the right of Colorado designer Lorie Smith to open a straights-only wedding website design business.

“Tolerance, not coercion, is our Nation’s answer,” he rather grandly concludes.

We must be tolerant of intolerant people

Oddly

“Smith, by her own account, is not a designer of wedding websites. She is merely an aspiring wedding-website designer who reportedly dreamed from childhood of the heterosexual wedding websites she would someday create”

Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser told the Associated Press that it was a “made-up case.”

If that's was a business model then that's what it should be.

Would you force a baker to sell fish, just because the baker was not all food inclusive and discriminated against piscivores.

If you can have a website and service aimed at solely gay clientele, then this is absolutely fair.

This should be banned. It isn't even debatable that the Supreme Court made this ruling.

The whole thing is contrived. The "plaintiff" cited in the case is a "straw man"  It appears to be an attempted shake down case. See... https://www.theguardian.com/law/2023/jun/29/supreme-court-lgbtq-document-veracity-colorado.
