What the Supreme Court’s LGBTQ rights decision means
In a 6-3 opinion delivered Friday by Justice Neil Gorsuch that was joined by the court’s five other conservatives, the justices said that the First Amendment’s free speech protections permitted the web designer, Lorie Smith, to refuse to extend her services for same-sex weddings.
For instance, the justices agreed Friday to review next term a federal law that bars an individual subject to a domestic violence restraining order from possessing a firearm – a law that a lower court reconsidered in light of the Supreme Court’s decision last year in the Second Amendment case.
