There is a court case that potentially involves two elements of the First Amendment: freedom of religion
and free political speech. It could also involve civil rights issues included in the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the Equal
Protection clause in the 14th Amendment. The case involves a Christian printer who refused to print gay
pride T-shirts on religious grounds. The printer declined the printing job for T-shirts promoting a gay pride
festival but offered to contact other local printers to do the work for the same price. The printer had a history of rejecting other orders for shirts promoting sexually explicit material/actions and violence. Do an analysis of this case by considering possible arguments on both sides, and then reach a conclusion as to whether the Supreme Court should rule for or against the printer and how you think the Court would rule if the case comes before them.
