DNC Chair Tom Perez released the following statement after the U.S. Supreme Court issued its opinion in the case of Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission:
“This case was never just about a wedding cake. It was about all people– no matter who they are – having the right to celebrate their love without facing discrimination. The Democratic Party believes that no individual has a license to discriminate. We believe in the dignity of every human being. And we will continue to fight for equality for LGBTQ people in all areas of our society – from housing and health care, to bathrooms and boardrooms, to bakeries and the ballot box.”
