Governor Healey Responds to Supreme Court Ruling in 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis

Statement

Date: June 30, 2023
Location: Boston, MA
Issues: Civil Liberties and Civil Rights Judicial Branch

"This decision is deeply disappointing and yet another example of the Supreme Court's callous disregard for the wellbeing of the very communities that need protecting. The courts have long recognized that laws safeguarding customers from discrimination don't infringe on the right to free speech. Freedom isn't using the First Amendment as license to shut your doors on LGBTQ+ customers. Freedom is the ability to live and love openly without fear. Massachusetts will always stand for freedom and equality because it wasn't about a cake then, and it's not about a website now."
