Today, we will be discussing a recent Supreme Court ruling that permits businesses to discriminate against the LGBTQ+ community. There have been allegations that the case was based on a fabricated document. The Alliance Defending Freedom, a prominent Christian organization, played a significant role in the case, while the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints submitted an amicus brief in support of discriminating against LGBT individuals. We will delve into the involvement of the LDS Church and examine their brief, which sheds light on the Church's perspective regarding their right to discriminate against individuals with differing views on marriage. Please join us as we briefly explore some key facts pertaining to this contentious case.
