LGBTQ+ advocates, and the dissenting Supreme Court judges, fear the recent Supreme Court ruling on free speech has opened the door to encourage discrimination.
The Supreme Court ruled on Friday in favor of an evangelical Christian website designer in a case involving whether businesses can refuse to do services that involve expressive speech because of First Amendment free speech rights.
“This decision by the Supreme Court is a dangerous step backward, giving some businesses the power to discriminate against people simply because of who we are," said Kelley Robinson, the president of the Human Rights Campaign. "The law in question targets conduct, not speech, for regulation, and the act of discrimination has never constituted protected expression under the First Amendment," said Sotomayor. "Our Constitution contains no right to refuse service to a disfavored group."
