A Colorado website designer who opposes same-sex marriage is the newest face of a religious-rights movement that has been taking full advantage of the Supreme Court’s conservative super-majority.
Lorie Smith is seeking to carve an exception out of a Colorado anti-discrimination law so she can create custom wedding sites — but only for opposite-sex couples. The court, which has swung to the right on social and religious issues with a 6-3 conservative majority, hears arguments in her case Monday.
“My faith has taught me that marriage is between one man and one woman, and I want to design and create websites that promote that message,” Smith, 38, said from her home in the Denver suburb of Littleton.
