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.
