Elenis case. The 6-3 decision affirms that the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment allows businesses to discriminate against LGBTQ+ customers when providing custom goods and services. As Justice Sotomayor dissented, "Today, 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." This unprecedented decision will have a harmful impact on the LGBTQ+ community –– it’s dangerous and outrageous, especially during a year where the LGBTQ+ community is in a state of emergency. We are continuing to track and fight back against a record number of anti-equality bills from all levels of the government — all determined to destroy our progress and erase us from public life and the history books. But we will not allow this radical Court to dismantle LGBTQ+ rights. That’s why the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) is launching an Emergency Partner Drive — to secure 500 new monthly donors before the weekend. [You see, our monthly donors, HRC Partners, are the force behind every victory we achieve. Your generous monthly gift will help us fight back hard against discrimination and the destruction of LGBTQ+ rights–all year long.]( With a court system we can’t count on … enemies like Governors Greg Abbot and Ron DeSantis (who is currently running for President!) ... and organizations like the Alliance Defending Freedom (an anti-LGBTQ+ hate group!), our hard-earned rights are being attacked from every direction. We cannot — and will not — let radical anti-LGBTQ+ politicians and organizations drive us backward. [Your monthly support will help power HRC’s critical work to protect and advance equality.]( No one should face discrimination for who they are or who they love. But the Supreme Court's recent ruling threatens to normalize such prejudice and discrimination. We must fight back, and we need your support to do so. [Everything is on the line. So please, start a monthly gift today.]( Thank you, [Dane Grams] [Dane Grams Signature] Dane Grams Vice President, Membership he/him/his Dane first joined HRC in the fall of 1997.
