[ID: A red square post, with an all-caps dark gray heading reading "let's talk about it..." smaller white text underneath reads "In December 2022, Lorie Smith, owner of 303 Creative LLC, went before the Supreme Court to ask if an artist can constitutionally be prohibited from discriminating against customers based on their sexual orientation. She claimed that the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Law* "forced her to create websites celebrating marriages that defy her belief that marriage should be reserved to unions between one man and one woman". On June 30, 2023, the Supreme Court ruled that the web designer's work is a form of artistic expression and that forcing her to create a website for a same-sex wedding violates her First Amendment rights in a 6-3 vote. *The Colorado Anti-Discrimination Law "prohibits all 'public accommodations' from denying 'the full and equal enjoyment' of its good and services to any customer based on his race, creed, disability, sexual orientation, or other statutorily enumerated trait."

We will continue our fight to protect the queer community across the country and amplify the voices of those impacted by this ruling. Discrimination has detrimental long-term impacts; as evidenced by the restrictions and discrimination following Black Wall Street, discrimination in all forms has a lasting impact on a community when it comes to resources including housing, finances, education, and access to opportunities of all manner."

Queer Youth Assemble is organizing to protest the recent SCOTUS decisions. Rather than being on a single day, protests will occur throughout the summer to make our voices heard, and they will take place all over the country. You can learn more about these SCOTUS rulings here and here. QYA has a statement on affirmative action here, and one on equal protection here.

You can read about taking action and getting involved on our website.

The rights of people of color and LGBTQ+ people are under attack, and we, the youth, dissent.

[ID: A blue square post, with a dark grey, all-caps heading that reads “let’s talk about it.” Below that, smaller white text reads “On June 29, 2023, The U.S. Supreme Court determined that admissions programs at Harvard and the University of North Carolina (UNC) should no longer consider race as a factor in college admissions. While the ruling is based on Harvard and UNC’s policies, the overturning of affirmative action will have wide-reaching, national implications.” at the bottom of the page is a picture, edited to appear ripped at the top edge, which depicts a sign that says “the root of bias in admissions is white supremacy, not affirmative action.” End ID.]

[ID: A blue square post, with a dark gray, all-caps heading that reads “but this decision is about more that college admissions.” Smaller white text below, oriented to the left, reads “Overturning affirmative action threatens decades of progress made to give all people equitable and equal access to educational and employment opportunities. In addition, the Supreme Court solely targeted race-conscious admissions. Meanwhile, legacy admissions continue to be upheld, reinforcing elitist privileges.” In the bottom right corner is an illustrated person with light brown skin and dark curly hair with blue streaks. They have white glasses, and a blue T-shirt over a green and pink striped shirt. They hold a sign that reads “stand against racism.” End ID.]

[ID: A blue square post with a dark all-caps gray heading which reads “affirmative action is equitable action.” Below that, smaller white text reads “This decision does not create fairness in admissions.
