Prof. Jill Hasday Interviewed on WCCO News and MPR About SCOTUS ruling on LGBTQ Rights

Professor Jill Hasday was interviewed by WCCO News about the U.S. Supreme Court ruling released Friday, in a 6-3 majority ruling, that affirmed the rights of a Christian website and graphic designer in Colorado to tell her clients she won't build wedding websites for same-sex couples. In the case known as 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis, the court stated the First Amendment supersedes a Colorado public accommodations law.  

Hasday discussed the implications of the ruling with WCCO, "The majority really stresses that this was a custom service - she's providing custom wedding websites for each individual couple. Will this same precedent apply to services that are more off the shelf," Hasday asked. She illustrated her point by saying, "I go to an ice cream store, I'm a same-sex couple, the owner objects and doesn't want his couple walking around with their ice cream cones. Will that count as protected speech?"
