Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra chided the Supreme Court via Twitter on Monday for the court's decision to side with a Christian web designer who did not want to create wedding websites for same-sex couples.
"The ruling by the Supreme Court delivers a mean blow to the cause of civil rights and liberties, but especially for the LGBTQI+ community," Becerra said."Discrimination has no place in our society."
Although liberal justices on the court dissented on the principle that this opens the door for discrimination, Gorsuch wrote that Colorado's anti-discrimination law, if taken to its logical conclusion"would allow the government to force all manner of artists, speechwriters, and others whose services involve speech to speak what they do not believe on pain of penalty."
Becerra's commentary comes after he chastised the court for their decision to overturn precedent regarding affirmative action in higher education, saying that the decision will hinder people of color from gaining entrance into healthcare education programs and thereby diminishing racial health equity.
