The Supreme Court is expected to release a ruling on LGBTQ+ rights on Friday, but prior to its release, a report has emerged about a potentially fraudulent document in the case. The Guardian reports that this document could be fake, casting doubt on the evidence cited in the case. The New Republic was the first to report this news, with an article titled “The Mysterious Case of the Fake Gay Marriage Website, the Real Straight Man, and the Supreme Court.” Get more details below:
- The case: The case at hand is 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis, which challenges a Colorado law that prohibits businesses serving the public from discriminating against gay individuals. Lorie Smith, a web designer and the plaintiff, argues that her religious beliefs should exempt her from designing websites for same-sex weddings.
- The document: Smith’s lawyers included an inquiry from a man named Stewart (his last name remains undisclosed) in their court filings. Stewart had contacted Smith through her website in September 2016 regarding his wedding to his fiancé, Mike. The filing included Stewart’s email and phone number. “This week, I decided to call Stewart and ask him about his inquiry,” wrote Melissa Gira Grant for the New Republic.
