If #SCOTUS rules in favor of web designer #303Creative it could provide a license to discriminate against #LGBTQ+ people. It likely would profoundly impact the civil liberties of not only #LGBTQ+ Americans, but ALL Americans. (3of6)
The Supreme Court's argument in #303Creative v. Elenis is about to begin.
#303 atty arguing that her client is being compelled to say messages contrary to her conscience. Same-sex marriage is against scripture
To force her to create these websites is akin to forcing students to recite the pledge (among other things)

303 Creative, a website co, wants to expand into the wedding market.
However, it wants only heterosexual wedding clients, as it believes same-sex marriage conflicts with God’s will

this is wonderful going into #303CreativeVElenis oral arguments this morning where SCOTUS is going to listen to some whiner complain that her evangelical Christianity means she doesn’t have to make a wedding website for a same sex couple. 😒
