Supreme Court Allows Web Designer to Refuse Gay Wedding Clients, Raising Ethical Concerns

  • The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that a Colorado web designer can refuse to create wedding websites for same-sex couples due to her religious beliefs.
  • The case prompted questions about the validity of the plaintiff's claim, as the man cited as inquiring about services denies ever doing so.
  • The ruling was a defeat for gay rights and has raised concerns about broader consequences from legal experts and advocates.
  • The court's conservative majority argued that Colorado's anti-discrimination law violated the designer's free speech rights.
  • The attorneys involved could face disciplinary action if found to have knowingly presented false information to the court.
