[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Supreme Court is intended to protect rights not limit them. Here, rights have been limited under the guise that other rights are being protected. It’s absurd.

Also, there was reportedly no live controversy at the time. And that’s what people are talking about with regard to standing.  There are complex reasons that are very important as to why there needs to be an actual person who actually believes they are being discriminated against before they can take legal action.   (verse a purported fear that it could happen in the future.)

For the purposes of discussion, even excluding the “ political” make up of the court, this decision could’ve been very different, and made much more sense if there was actually a gay couple who was trying to force this purportedly devout Christian woman to create a “marriage” website for them.   (Even then, it’s a stretch to claim that a website designer’s freedom of expression or speech is being impaired because she would move a couple of templates around.)

The point is most likely if she had said, “I’m a devout Christian and I don’t want to design a website for you”, a real gay couple would likely say “you’re a jerk” and “I’m gonna find someone else.”

It just feels like the whole intention of this case was to take advantage of the current make up of the court.[/quote]

Agree.  Not all website designers do copywriting. And that entire field’s marketing is all about connecting to your niche and without explicitly saying she’s not interested in serving gay couples, there are a million other ways she can find her matched clients which will also have the effect of repelling the clients she doesn’t want (like the fish symbol  would probably do it)  Businesses who support LGBTQIA commonly have a statement on their site or share examples of their work with diversity in their design and photos.  It’s usually not hard to tell where people stand and contrary to the paranoia and victimhood these people have, gay people would rather do business with someone who is happy to work with them. Like everyone else. [/quote]

Wedding sites typically do not involve any copywriting, and barely even any real design or creative work.  Unless there is a specific request for original art, logos, custom code, or something truly unique and different, website design for something like a wedding is extremely straightforward, and typically involves predesigned templates which are widely available on the web, with themes and fonts selected by the customer, and photos and text provided by the customer.  It's something that can be done in an afternoon.

Source:  I've created over a hundred different websites over the years, including many wedding websites.  Also, the person creating the website can decide for themselves, with their client's consent, what sites they want to promote in their portfolios et cetera.[/quote]

But her made up facts said she was going to be different and more involved. She was allegedly expanding a graphics design business and said she was going to personalize the graphics and content to each couple. So that’s what they had to go on, not a cookie cutter web design but SO SPECIAL…. Allowing them to rule as they did bc it was now speech and not cut and paste web design. [/quote]

Again, all lies - fake "so special" website for fake and nonexistent couple.

What a sham that the US Supreme Court just decided an important case based on complete lies.  [/quote]
