The US Supreme Court has ruled in favour of a graphic designer who has refused to create wedding websites for same-sex couples.
Lorie Smith, from Colorado, argued she could not serve same-sex couples because of her Christian faith.
Colorado state law prohibits businesses open to the public refusing service because of sexual orientation.
But the Supreme Court now said artists cannot be compelled to express messages against their religious beliefs.
The landmark case in the United States' top court on Friday pitted the rights of LGBT people to seek goods and services without discrimination against free speech rights.
