Compared to "normal" industries, this and the cake designer suit [1] really are a different ball-game, because of the speech implications as well as discrimination. On the one-hand, this is very close, if not exactly the same as active discrimination against a protected group. But since being a web designer is a creative role, we also have to take into account the creative aspect: does the couple "forcing" the designer to work constitute a violation in speech? If this were a medical clinic or even a large advertising agency--which is also a creative firm-- it would clearly be discrimination, but the simple fact that this is an individual makes it an interesting case. --- [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masterpiece_Cakeshop_v._Colorado_Civil_Rights_Commission https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masterpiece_Cakeshop_v._Colora...
