A gay man who set up a website to denounce the views of a US reverend has won the right to keep his site.
Christopher Lamparello set up Fallwell.com as a way of complaining about the anti-gay preachings of Reverend Falwell.
Lamparello originally won the case back in August 2005 when the judge ruled that no-one looking for the work of Reverend Falwell would confuse the content on the two sites.
In the latest judgement, the US Supreme Court threw out Reverend Fallwell's attempt to launch an appeal. There was no statement from the court to explain the ruling.
A statement on Lamparello's website reads: "I started this website in 1999. It was done with the best motives in mind, which were to challenge Reverend Falwell's preachings and teachings as they regard people who are gay or lesbian.
"In particular, I sought to directly challenge his belief that homosexuality is a sin."
