WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court hears arguments Monday about whether a conservative Christian business owner has a 1st Amendment right to refuse to work with same-sex couples planning to marry.
At issue is a Colorado website designer claiming a free-speech right to ignore the state's anti-discrimination law and turn away gay couples seeking her services.
Twenty-two states including California require businesses open to the public to provide full and equal service to all, without regard to race, religion, gender or sexual orientation.
