Civil Rights vs Creative Expression: Anti-Discrimination and Free Speech in Public Accommodation
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: In the case of 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis, the US Supreme Court allowed a graphic design business to refuse to create wedding websites for queer couples. The issue of marginalized groups being able to access services and public accommodations without facing discrimination has been a question within US judicial systems for decades now. This paper seeks to examine the historical context of accessible public accommodations, past verdicts relevant to this case as well as the implications of the current Supreme Court decision to analyse the future of the balance between civil rights and creative expression in the United States.
