The sky is not falling; it’s just a little lower today
The Supreme Court ruling in 303 CREATIVE LLC ET AL. v. ELENIS ET AL. is a strong signal the LGBTQ community is not safe from serious discrimination.
It is a warning we must watch our backs, and reminds us we must fight back. While this case is a limited decision, it will open the door for more discrimination and litigation.
There are potential ways around it, as we are reminded by Andrew Tang in a recent New York Times essay. He recounts how Kentucky handled the issue of ensuring same-sex couples could get a marriage license.
But the takeaway for the community must be to accept the major way to fight back is with our vote. The temperament of the majority of this right-wing Supreme Court is such that it is not only the LGBTQ community that is at risk.
