The 38-year-old graphic artist and website designer from the Denver metro area is challenging Colorado’s antidiscrimination law that she says would compel her to use her artistic talents, or speech, to create messages celebrating same-sex civil weddings. At the same time, Colorado argues that the case is one about discrimination: If someone sells a product in the public sphere, he or she has to sell it to all people.For her part, Smith stressed that she creates for everyone with her company, 303 Creative.“I serve everyone, including those who identify as LGBT,” she told CNA. “I love to custom create and will work with anyone — there are simply some messages I can’t create regardless of who asks me.”Her case, she said, is about freedom of speech for all artists.
