So lemme get this straight.

  1. Lorie Smith, owner of 303 Creative, doesn't actually design websites. Her company doesn't actually provide that service.
  2. Stewart (last name withheld) didn't ask for a wedding site for him and his husband from her.
  3. Stewart isn't gay. He's married to a woman and they have a kid together.
  4. AND what could possibly be the most ironic occupation for Stewart to have? He's a web designer.

You can't make this shit up. Or I guess you can. Because Lorie and the Supreme Court did.

Standing is important to maintain to keep courts from being completely overrun, but it's also important to have a way to get cases heard without standing in extraordinary circumstances. A handful of times laws get passed that negatively affect many people, but not enough to qualify for standing, effectively making the law above reproach, which is bad for everyone.
