Is It DISCRIMINATION or FREE SPEECH? Supreme Court Limits LGBTQ+ Protections | The Left Wing 10.3
from The Left Wing · host The Left Wing
In a major decision affecting LGBTQ rights, the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday carved out a significant exception to public accommodations laws--laws that in most states bar discrimination based on sexual orientation. By a 6-to-3 vote, the court sided with Lorie Smith, a Colorado web designer who is opposed to same sex marriage. She challenged the state's public accommodations law, claiming that by requiring her to serve everyone equally, the state was unconstitutionally enlisting her in creating a message she opposes. ******* We discuss the Supreme Court's ruling, if the case should have ever been taken by the Court & the debate between discrimination & free speech ******* Related article: https://www.npr.org/2023/06/30/1182121291/colorado-supreme-court-same-sex-marriage-decision *** The video of the episode is attached for all Spotify users *** Follow - The Left Wing: YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@TheLeftWingPod Follow - Counterpoint Politics: INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/counterpoint_politics/ Follow - Cocktails & Capitalism: INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/cocktailsandcapitalism/ Follow - Independent Thought: INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/independentthought/?hl=en
