Debate over religious liberty sparks up in Colorado once again

Here we go again: Does a Colorado law punish professionals if they refuse to publish material that conflicts with their deeply held religious beliefs? The legal organization that defended Christian baker Jack Phillips and won its Supreme Court case in 2018, Alliance Defending Freedom, is making that case in court.

On Oct. 25, ADF filed an appeal of a federal district court’s order. The order in question upheld a Colorado provision that has made it a “discriminatory practice and unlawful for a person” to refuse their goods or services to a person “because of disability, race, creed, color, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin.”
