President Joe Biden said his administration would work with states to protect LGBTQ Americans after the Supreme Court sided with a Christian website designer opposed to same-sex marriage. | ManilaBulletin READ:
“I’m deeply concerned that the decision could invite more discrimination against LGBTQI+ Americans,” Biden said in a statement Friday. “More broadly, today’s decision weakens long-standing laws that protect all Americans against discrimination in public accommodations – including people of color, people with disabilities, people of faith, and women.”
The majority-conservative court ruled in support of Lorie Smith, the owner of 303 Creative LLC, who challenged a Colorado anti-discrimination law that prohibits businesses that serve the general public from discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation. Smith, who wanted to publish an online notice stating that her religious beliefs prevented her from customizing websites for gay couples, said she had a free-speech right to create wedding pages only for opposite-sex couples.
