The Supreme Court’s decision to side with a cake shop over its refusal to bake a cake for a gay wedding is a loss for gay rights, believes Jennifer Finney Boylan of The New York Times. LGBT people face discrimination in countless forms in the US. A way to combat this would be to amend the Constitution in a way that definitively forbids the discrimination against people based on their gender identity and sexuality. The Supreme Court’s verdict is a defeat for gay people and their right to equality. It is part of the larger American issue of recognizing that their rights are incomplete. The LGBT community must be protected better than it is today.
