SCOTUS Arguments Today in Masterpiece Cakeshop Case; Case Could Have Consequences for LGBTQ People<\/b>
\n<\/p>\n

Today, HRC\u00a0released the following statements ahead of oral arguments this morning at the Supreme Court of the United States in the case of Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission. <\/em>The case, which will be decided by next June, will either protect the fundamental equality of LGBTQ people \u2014 or it could set a dangerous precedent giving businesses a license to discriminate.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt its core, this case is a cynical effort to manipulate the First Amendment in order to provide a license to discriminate against LGBTQ people and our families,\u201d said HRC President Chad Griffin. \u201cThe Trump-Pence administration\u2019s decision to back discrimination in this case is another attack in their all-out war against the LGBTQ community. At every turn, they have sought to undermine the civil rights of LGBTQ people. It\u2019s crucial that the justices reject discrimination and stand on the side of fairness and equality.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the United States, businesses that are open to the public get to decide what <\/em>to serve, but not who <\/em>they serve. The First Amendment cannot and should not be distorted as a weapon of discrimination,\u201d said HRC Legal Director Sarah Warbelow. \u201cThe ramifications of allowing people to pick and choose who they will serve could have severe consequences not only for LGBTQ people, but other minorities as well. Such a decision would put into jeopardy long-standing laws against discrimination across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

The case involves Jack Phillips, a baker who refused to serve a gay<\/a> couple<\/a> in violation of Colorado\u2019s statewide non-discrimination law. Represented by the SPLC-designated hate group Alliance Defending Freedom<\/a>, Phillips \u2014 who lost before the Colorado Supreme Court \u2014 was granted the Supreme Court hearing to make a claim that he should be able to discriminate against LGBTQ people on religious freedom and freedom of speech grounds. The Trump-Pence Administration has also entered this case to back the baker\u2019s claim. Masterpiece Cakeshop<\/em> is one of the most significant Supreme Court cases of the year, and the outcome could have sweeping consequences for every single LGBTQ American and millions of others.<\/p>\n

HRC organized two major amicus briefs in the case featuring the nation\u2019s leading bakers, and chefs; as well as top businesses who oppose discrimination against LGBTQ people \u2014 the central issue in the case. The first brief from \u201cChefs for Equality<\/a>\u201d included more than 240 bakers, chefs, restaurateurs, and other culinary industry leaders from all 50 states, plus Washington, DC. They joined together to relay a very simple message: businesses must welcome all. If a business is open on main street, it must be open to everyone, regardless of who they are or whom they love. Backed by food professionals from Orlando, FL, to Seattle, WA, and Dallas, TX, to Philadelphia, PA, the brief was also signed by some of the most prominent names in the culinary industry, including Elizabeth Falkner, Jose Andres, Sophie LaMontagne and Katherine Berman of Georgetown Cupcake, Carla Hall, Padma Lakshmi, Christina Tosi, Anthony Bourdain, Tom Colicchio, Duff Goldman, Sam Kass, and many more. The brief was authored by Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, an international law firm headquartered in Washington, DC.<\/p>\n

Additionally, dozens of major corporations<\/a> spoke out in another HRC-led amicus brief. These companies sent a powerful message to the Supreme Court, as well as LGBTQ people and allies across the nation. With one voice, they made clear that a business owner’s personal beliefs should never be reason enough to discriminate against a customer because of who they are or whom they love. The business brief was authored by Steptoe & Johnson LLP, an international law firm headquartered in Washington, DC, and was signed by major corporations from a diverse spectrum of industries, from Apple and Intel to Levi\u2019s and Mass Mutual. The full list of signatories includes Affirm, Inc.; Airbnb, Inc.; Amalgamated Bank; Amazon.com<\/a>, Inc.; American Airlines; Apple; Ben & Jerry’s Homemade Inc.; Choice Hotels International, Inc., International; Cisco Systems, Inc.; Citigroup Inc.; Deutsche Bank; Glassdoor, Inc.; Intel Corporation; John Hancock; Levi Strauss & Co.; Linden Research, Inc.; Lyft Inc.; Marriott International, Inc.; MassMutual; Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams; MongoDB, Inc.; National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce; NIO U.S.; PayPal Holdings, Inc.; Pfizer Inc; Postmates Inc; PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP; Prudential Financial, Inc.; Replacements, Ltd.; salesforce.com<\/a>, inc.; SurveyMonkey; The Est\u00e9e Lauder Companies Inc.; Uber Technologies, Inc.; WeddingWire, Inc.; Weebly, Inc.; Witeck Communications; and Yelp Inc.<\/p>\n
