During the Supreme Court’s oral arguments in 303 Creative v. Elenis on Monday, the U.S. deputy solicitor general made a stunning admission. He said the government believes a web designer has the right not to create a custom site for a Christian organization if she disagrees with the group’s teachings on marriage but that she does not have the right to turn down an LGBT organization if she disagrees with its support of same-sex marriage.

Some might chalk this up to the predictable hypocrisy of the Left. But it’s not really hypocritical at all. This position that religious people can be forced to provide the same sort of service that others can deny to them is entirely consistent with the Left’s utter disdain for people of faith and their right to live according to their beliefs.
