Critics fear the decision that allows graphic designer Lorie Smith to refuse same-sex clients will make it easier for businesses to refuse service to members of marginalized groups.
By Randy Evans Few people like being told what they must do. Lorie Smith is one of them. The suburban Denver, Colo., business owner, a devout Christian, builds websites for customers.
