| No American should be fired because of who they love. This ruling makes it clear that our anti-discrimination laws also protect LGBTQ Americans in the workplace. This is major progress in our nation’s ongoing struggle for equality. | The Supreme Court’s decision is another major judicial milestone in the fight for full LGBTQ freedom. Next, Congress must pass the Fairness For All Act! FFA protects LGBTQ civil rights and religious liberty at the same time. #FairnessForAll |

| Thank you @USEmbassySeoul for your principled stand against racism & support for LGBTQ+ community. I know the U.S. lacks ethical leadership from the WH, but there are millions of Americans who appreciate you demonstrating American values to the world. #BlackLivesMatter #Pride | |

| Todays decision is one step towards repairing the federal, state, and local laws that leave the LGBTQ+ population vulnerable in their own communities. The work continues until no American faces discrimination for how they identify or whom they love. | |

| This decision is a tremendously important repudiation of anti-LGBTQ discrimination. To the LGBTQ Americans who fought for years for this victory, know that you have always been and always will be equal. This is a moment of genuine meaning for America. | |

| Today, the Supreme Court ruled federal law protects LGBTQ workers from discrimination. This is a victory for our country and a step towards equality and justice for all Americans. #PrideMonth |
