Summary

Colorado graphic artist Lorie Smith doesn't want to be forced to create wedding websites for same-sex couples.  "I've always been creative, I've always wanted to design for weddings, and I want to design and create for weddings in a way that's consistent with God's view of marriage," Smith says. Alliance Defending Freedom, a Christian legal organization, says Smith’s right to freedom of speech allows her to decline to create messages promoting homosexual marriage.  The Supreme Court will hear arguments in Smith’s case Dec. 5.  Smith and her Alliance Defending Freedom attorney, Kellie Fiedorek, join "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss the case and how the nine justices may rule.  Enjoy the show!
