West Palm Beach, FL — Today, Congresswoman Lois Frankel (FL-22) released the following statement in response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to allow private companies to discriminate against members of the LGBTQ+ community.

“Another sad day in America as the extreme, right-wing Supreme Court promotes hatred and bigotry, ruling against equality for all,” said Rep. Frankel. “No person or business should be given a license to unjustly discriminate. Every individual, no matter who they are or who they love, deserves the freedom to go about their daily lives and access the goods and services they need.”

In a 6-3 decision, the far-right Supreme Court ruled in favor of an evangelical Christian graphic artist from Colorado who does not want to create wedding websites for same-sex couples.
