Congratuations to Alliance Defending Freedom and Lori Smith for this setttlement, " says Eugene Delgaudio, president of Public Advocate.

The Federalist Reports:

On Tuesday, Colorado officials agreed to pay more than $1.5 million in legal fees to Christian resident Lorie Smith for violating her First Amendment right to religious freedom.

The court-approved settlement comes after seven years of legal attacks waged by left-wing activists against Smith and her design studio, 303 Creative. As The Federalist's Jordan Boyd reported, despite being willing to work with any customer regardless of background, the Christian designer was targeted for declining to make "wedding websites celebrating same-sex couples because it would violate her constitutional right to exercise her Christian belief that marriage is between a man and a woman."
