On June 1, 2022, the Liberty Justice Center filed an amicus brief in 303 Creative v. Elenis on behalf of Mark Janus, the National Institute of Family and Life Advocates, Care Net, and Heartbeat International, Inc.
The Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act requires anyone who creates custom websites celebrating the marriages of opposite-sex couples to do so for same-sex couples as well. But applying a public-accommodation law to compel an artist to speak or stay silent is a violation of the First Amendment. The Liberty Justice Center’s amicus brief argues that requiring an individual to communicate by word one’s acceptance of the government’s political ideas is compelled speech, and thus unconstitutional.
