SCOTUS anti-LGBTQ case may be fabricated

The supposed author of the inquiry for a same-sex couple's wedding website cited in the filing for 303 Creative v. Elenis — a Supreme Court case regarding Colorado web designer Lorie Smith, who refuses to create wedding sites for same-sex couples and seeks an exemption from anti-discrimination laws — told New Republic that he never made the request.

According to court filings, Stewart contacted Smith in September 2016 through her website regarding his wedding to his partner, Mike, slated for "early next year." He wrote that they "would love some design work done for our invites, placenames etc. We might also stretch to a website." Stewart also listed his number, email address and a link to his own website, which indicated that he was also a graphic designer, in the inquiry.
