The Heritage Foundation and its vice president, Roger Severino, are praising the Supreme Court’s decision last week favoring the First Amendment rights of a Colorado business owner and designer over the Equal Protection rights of the LGBTQ community as a “victory for tolerance.” Heritage, the once-vaunted right-wing think tank that has melded into pro-Trump MAGA right-wing extremism, just weeks ago attacked President Joe Biden and his historic White House Pride Month celebration, declaring: “The ‘Pride Flag’ does not represent anything good and it certainly does not represent America.
It should have never disgraced the South Portico of the White House.” Now it is using the Supreme Court decision in 303 Creative v.
Elenis to continue its anti-LGBTQ attack. “The LGBT Left says they just want to live like everybody else. That’s a lie,” Heritage on Monday wrote. “If you don’t compromise your beliefs and kowtow to their demands, they’ll make an enemy out of you.
The 303 Creative decision rejects their efforts to make Americans pledge allegiance to their flag.” Roger Severino is a former Trump administration official who served as the head of the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Civil Rights.
