of the United States. Here’s the debate: Can the government apply a law to compel an artist to speak or stay silent? Our claim, reasoning and evidence say no. The case involves Lorie Smith, a graphic artist and website designer in Colorado. Lorie loves to design custom, unique websites for her clients, including those who identify as LGBT. But there are some designs she cannot create regardless of who asks. Each of Lorie’s websites incorporates traditional storytelling and artistic elements.
Under Colorado’s theory, the First Amendment acts like a vacation time clock: It starts when we punch out of work and stops when we punch back in. In reality, the First Amendment never goes on vacation — we don’t leave it at home when we go to work. Let’s not forget, Colorado already agreed that Lorie chooses her projects based on the what and not the who — what"message" she’s being requested to create, not who makes the request. An LGBT website designer shouldn’t be faulted for promoting her views about same-sex marriage. Neither should Lorie be censored from designing consistent with her beliefs about marriage. In the end, Colorado’s position presupposes a different case. But evidence doesn’t change by ignoring it.
I’ll never understand demanding someone make something for you they do not want to. Why? Find someone that will put their best into it,their joy,their talent. Not someone who doesn’t like,understand you. The cake will taste better,the flowers will be prettier & website better.
But Brandon said he got the bill passed. 😂
