Since at least the 2018 decision in Masterpiece Cakeshop, Ltd. v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, involving a Christian baker who refused to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple, the U.S. Supreme Court has implicitly embraced the view that religious identity and LGBTQ+ identity are incompatible. When religious groups claim that LGBTQ+ inclusion is anathema to their values, the rights of the religious group must prevail over those of LGBTQ+ people. Next year, in St. Mary Catholic Parish v. Roy, the Court may more explicitly give Constitutional protection to faith-based discrimination against LGBTQ+ students in religious schools.
