straight male. whether it's women and body aaliyah tommy, whether it's the trans community, the lgbtq+ community, people of color, there is a virulent and powerful crusade that seems in a lot of ways to be successful. it seems to be borne less out of strategy and more a palpable fear that the country is changing. >> without question there is a fear by republican politicians about the demographic changes. there is a fear among some people about the changing demographics of this country. what you just articulated is a clear example of the through line between these attacks. i think it reinforces how linked the fight for lgbtq equality is with a fight for racial justice, for reproductive rights. because ultimately what we are seeing is an attempt to censor these topics out of our schools, an attempt to roll back the clock on our progress, and

this decision today certainly has not helped this country take a step toward a more perfect union. it has taken us backwards in time, just like many of the decisions coming from this extreme right wing court. >> jim, does this ruling make you feel that other lgbtq rights, when speaking legally, are more vulnerable than they were before this ruling? >> i absolutely believe any rights the lgbtq+ community enjoy in this country are at risk. you know, we have this court now saying that one person's religious beliefs or their interpretation of their particular religious book trumps everything else. opponents of lgbtq+ equality, they are going to use this in every way that they can to continue coming after the queer community. and i will go back to my point earlier. i always was taught and thought that religion believed in the

Inside Politics With Dana Bash

gay man. what was your reaction when you learned of the ruling? >> well, the decision is a dark day not only for the lgbtq community but for democracy, and i cannot help but feel that the most consequential policy decisions are being decided not by elected officials but by the unelected judges of the supreme court, particularly a right-wing supermajority. the supreme court is increasingly operating as a super legislature, and laws become politics by other means. and this particular decision reminds us that the greatest threat to lgbtq equality is the weaponization of religious liberty. religious liberty properly understood means freedom from discrimination, not freedom to discriminate. and if the supreme court continues to reinterpret religious liberty as a license to discriminate, it's going to have implications for simple rights laws at every level of government, and it's going to
