Natasha Cloud criticizes US Supreme Court's LGBT rights ruling
Posted : 07 July 2023
A recent tweet by WNBA star Natasha Cloud criticizing the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on LGBT rights has sparked controversy. Cloud expressed her frustration, stating that "our country is garbage in so many ways."
Her tweet came after the court's conservative justices ruled in favor of allowing some discrimination by businesses against same-sex couples, based on the constitutional right to free speech.
The ruling was a response to a petition filed by website designer Lori Smith, who sought an exception to an anti-discrimination law in Colorado, arguing that it violated her religious beliefs.
Cloud, along with many others, strongly disagreed with the decision, viewing it as a setback for the rights of the LGBT community and potentially setting a dangerous precedent for discrimination against other marginalized groups.
Enes Kanter-Freedom, a former NBA player who gained U.S. citizenship after facing persecution in Turkey, responded to Cloud's tweet.
He urged her to consider the alternative of living under oppressive regimes, emphasizing the importance of appreciating the rights and freedoms enjoyed in America.
Cloud stood her ground, stating that her criticisms were aimed at addressing issues such as police violence, racial incarceration, and women's rights within the country.
The exchange between Cloud and Kanter-Freedom highlights the ongoing debate surrounding the state of civil liberties and social justice in the United States. The differing perspectives reflect the complex and deeply held beliefs of individuals who have experienced different forms of oppression and seek to advocate for a better society.
