Biden disappointed the Supreme Court ruled Colorado cannot force designer to create wedding sites that violate her religious beliefs

President Joe Biden is disappointed the Supreme Court ruled that Colorado may not require a graphic designer to create wedding websites that go against her religious belief that marriage is between a man and a woman.

Lorie Smith had been concerned that if she expanded her business to include the creation of wedding websites, the state would insist that she also offer the service for weddings she does not support.

"In her lawsuit, Ms. Smith alleged that, if she enters the wedding website business to celebrate marriages she does endorse, she faces a credible threat that Colorado will seek to use CADA [Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act] to compel her to create websites celebrating marriages she does not endorse," Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote in the opinion. "The First Amendment envisions the United States as a rich and complex place where all persons are free to think and speak as they wish, not as the government demands," he explained, noting that "Colorado seeks to deny that promise."

Biden described the ruling as "disappointing."

"In America, no person should face discrimination simply because of who they are or who they love. The Supreme Court's disappointing decision in 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis undermines that basic truth, and painfully it comes during Pride month when millions of Americans across the country join together to celebrate the contributions, resilience, and strength of the LGBTQI+ community," the president said in the statement.

"While the Court’s decision only addresses expressive original designs, I'm deeply concerned that the decision could invite more discrimination against LGBTQI+ Americans. More broadly, today’s decision weakens long-standing laws that protect all Americans against discrimination in public accommodations – including people of color, people with disabilities, people of faith, and women," he said.

The decision comes the day after the court ruled against race-based criteria in college admissions. Biden and other leftists also disagreed with that decision.
