I don't usually discuss politics here, but I needed to get all this out and hopefully help you in the process. Most of you may be familiar with yesterday's Supreme Court decision in 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis. There's been a lot of talk about it among certain communities, for obvious reasons, and I want to set the record straight and put things in perspective.
These articles will explain exactly what the ruling does and doesn't do, according to many legal experts (don't read what I write afterwards until you read them):
Can a florist refuse service to a same-sex couple? Can a photographer decline to photograph lesbians? Experts parse the 303 Creative LLC v.
At issue was whether a Colorado web designer had a First Amendment right to reject making wedding websites for queer couples. The court rule
So, based on these people's analyses, as bad as the ruling may have been, it could've been a whole lot worse. The best thing we can do at this moment is to use all the tools at our disposal try to mitigate any damage that might come out of this, and make sure it doesn't get any more awful than it already is. There may be a way to fix it, but until we figure out what it is, this is all we can do.
