The Supreme Court has ruled in favor of a wedding website designer in Colorado who refused to work with same-sex couples because of her religious beliefs against same-sex marriage. 

Colorado has an anti-discrimination law that says as long as your business is public, you have to treat everyone equally.

But, the Supreme Court ruled she has a right to free speech under the First Amendment. 

This ruling has sparked conversations about the line between the law and discrimination. 

MPR News host Angela Davis will talk with a law expert about the significance of this case and a marketing consultant with expertise in marketing to LGBTQ+ customers about what businesses stand to gain or lose if they choose or refuse to advertise to LGBTQ+ people.
