President Joe Biden claimed that the Supreme Court's Friday ruling regarding a Colorado web designer is undermining LGBT rights during Pride month.
The Supreme Court voted 6-3 along ideological lines Friday in support of plaintiff Lorie Smith, a web designer who did not want to create websites celebrating same-sex marriages. The liberal dissenting justices said that the court,"for the first time in its history, grants a business open to the public a constitutional right to refuse to serve members of a protected class.
"In America, no person should face discrimination simply because of who they are or who they love. The Supreme Court’s disappointing decision in 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis undermines that basic truth, and painfully it comes during Pride month when millions of Americans across the country join together to celebrate the contributions, resilience, and strength of the LGBTQI+ community," the president wrote.
"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," he continued."When one group’s dignity and equality are threatened, the promise of our democracy is threatened and we all suffer. Our work to advance equal rights for everyone will continue.
"My administration remains committed to working with our federal enforcement agencies to rigorously enforce federal laws that protect Americans from discrimination based on gender identity or sexual orientation," the president concluded."We will also work with states across the country to fight back against attempts to roll back civil rights protections that could follow this ruling. And we will accelerate our march towards full equality for every American.
