Because it's a shit ruling that says discriminating against people is a form of speech. At least that's why I think it's a horrible ruling.
I get that, but if they'd ruled differently, I don't think you'd be happier. Imagine being a website designer and the state is going to sue you unless you agree to make a wedding website for a fundamentalist Christian couple who believe interracial marriage is a sin.
I would actually prefer that the state bans discrimination, also against Christians. But of course, being a bigot is not a protected class you can be discriminated based on. Paradox of intolerance and all that.
That’s not what it says.
Of course it is. It says creating something is a type of expression, and that you can use that to discriminate since they can't curb free speech.
