Summary
The US Supreme Court sided last Friday with a Colorado web designer who claimed a First Amendment right to refuse to design wedding websites for same-sex couples. From good news to tragedy: an 18-year-old woman and a 20-year-old man were killed in a mass shooting early Sunday morning at a Baltimore block party. And on this anniversary day of the end of the Battle of Gettysburg, we remember: there is no gift that cannot be misused, including the gift of freedom. So how can we as Christians best use our freedom to serve our nation?

| 1:09.2 | Kristen Wagner of the Alliance Defending Freedom brought the case to the court and said, after the |

| 1:25.5 | The government should no more censor her for speaking consistent with |
| 1:28.8 | her beliefs about marriage than it should punish an LGBT graphic designer for declining to |
