Supreme Court LGBTQ 'Fake Case' Could be Reversed—Lawyer

As backlash grows over the Supreme Court's recent decision to rule in favor of a Christian designer who didn't want to make wedding websites for a gay couple in 303 Creative v. Elenis, allegations that the case hinged on a fake claim are gaining strength.

Lawyer Neal Katyal, who as acting solicitor general between 2010 and 2011 argued more than 50 cases in front of the Supreme Court, said that if the case turned out to be based on a fake claim, as he said it would appear, the court's decision could be officially stricken.

On Friday, the court's conservative majority delivered a blow to LGBTQ rights nationwide, ruling 6 to 3 in favor of Colorado graphic artist Lorie Smith, who had refused to design a website for a same-sex couple's wedding despite state law barring discrimination based on sexual orientation, race, gender, and other characteristics.
