When the Supreme Court ruled in 303 Creative v. Elenis in 2023 that a businessperson could not be compelled to create art that violates their religious beliefs – specifically, a wedding website for a same-sex ceremony – supporters of the decision celebrated it as a victory for freedom of religion and expression.
On the day the ruling was issued, the conservative Family Research Council called it "the latest in a trend of victories for free speech and religious liberty," while the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression hailed "a resounding victory for freedom of expression and freedom of conscience."
