Boycott Lorie Smith and All Others Who Use the Bill of Rights to Get Away with Discrimination

People who are rightfully upset with the six to three Supreme Court Ruling in the fabricated 303 Creative v Elenis case (where the website designer Lorie Smith apparently had to fake a scenario of a same-sex couple wanting a wedding website,) should use this opportunity to send a message to the dark bigoted and reactionary forces masquerading as organizations defending freedom.

People who believe that free speech does not equal my group only have several routes to take. These include:

• Boycotting businesses like Lorie Smith’s 303 Creative and other enterprises that refuse and have historically demonstrated their unwillingness to serve people based on the color of their skin, the faith they practice, the ethnicity they belong to, how much they make, and who they love.
• Refuse to serve people that openly refuse to serve others. See how they like it when people tell them they can not serve them because it violates our freedom of religion, speech. or expression. Sopranos Actor Michael Imperioli had the right idea when, after the Court ruling, posted on social media that “I’ve decided to forbid bigots and homophobes from watching The Sopranos, The White Lotus, Goodfellas or any movie or tv show I’ve been in. Thank you Supreme Court for allowing me to discriminate and exclude those who I don’t agree with and am opposed to. USA! USA!”
• Vote for public servants that will either appoint or confirm judges and justices, who, unlike Neil Gorsuch, would not include bigotry in “the marketplace of ideas” and would not brand Colorado’s law barring discrimination as “coercion” and intolerance.

The soul of our nation, thanks to the judicial appointments of two Presidents who lost the popular vote in their first elections, is still at stake.

Those that believe that the United States is the shining city on the hill where the country is s beacon for freedom, Democracy, Republics, tolerance, inclusion, equality, and opportunity, have options to fight back against these dark reactionary forces in the 2024 elections and beyond.

The forces of light should use these tools and consign the agents of darkness back to the dustbin of history like previous hate movements in our nation’s past.

Or it really will be too late for the country and the ideals we hold dear.
