Statement on US Supreme Court's Decision in 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis

APABA Silicon Valley expresses its profound dismay in the recent decision by the United States Supreme Court in 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis. This decision allows a website design business to refuse services to same-sex couples under the facade of First Amendment protection. APABA Silicon Valley firmly believes that the First Amendment should not provide a shield for discriminatory acts against our LGBTQ+ community.

As an organization dedicated to promoting equality and the dignified treatment of all individuals, APABA Silicon Valley considers this ruling a significant setback. It underscores the urgent need for policymakers to take swift action. APABA Silicon Valley calls upon Congress to pass the Equality Act, which seeks to prohibit discrimination based on sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity.

APABA Silicon Valley is steadfast in its commitment to supporting and uplifting the LGBTQ+ community. Despite the setback presented by the Supreme Court’s ruling, APABA Silicon Valley remains resolute in being a voice and an advocate for the rights and interests of all in our community.
