According to a story in The New Republic, the only inquiry the designer has ever received about creating a wedding website for a potential gay couple apparently came from a man who says he never sent it.
Protesters jockey for position as they gather in front of the Supreme Court on Dec. 5, 2022.
According to Smith and her legal team, the Christian group Alliance Defending Freedom , a man identified as Stewart requested a wedding website in September 2016 for his upcoming marriage to Mike. When reporter Melissa Gira Grant used the contact information provided by the plaintiffs in court documents to contact him, there was immediate confusion.
In a Zoom press conference following the ruling, Smith’s lawyer Kristen Waggoner said the New Republic report “was absolutely untrue” and “irrelevant to the case,” but said they did not verify if the request was from an actual gay couple or a “troll.” Waggoner, who is president of ADF, said her organization did not fabricate the request, calling the allegation “reprehensible and disgusting.”Stewart’s supposed inquiry came the day after Smith initially filed suit.
