Elenis, a case on whether a Colorado anti-discrimination law violates a website designer’s free speech rights because she refuses to design wedding content for same-sex couples. Lorie Smith, owner of 303 Creative, creates websites and graphic designs for a variety of clients and wanted to expand her business into the wedding market. She decided she would create content for anyone except same-sex couples and those who she feels go against her religious beliefs. Ms. Smith designed an ad web page for her new wedding services, but she never posted it. She said under Colorado’s public accommodation law she would be prohibited from doing so. She filed suit instead alleging the law violates her free speech rights.
