Michael Imperoli
takes a stand against the Supreme Court, which ruled on Friday that conservative Christians have the right to refuse some business services to same-sex couples.
The “Sopranos” and “White Lotus” star stated on Instagram on Saturday that he has “decided to ban bigots and homophobes from watching The Sopranos, The White Lotus, Goodfellas or any movie or TV show” in which he once appeared.
Imperioli made his remarks after the Supreme Court sided with a Colorado Christian graphic artist who did not want to design wedding websites for same-sex couples.

“Thank you Supreme Court for allowing me to discriminate and exclude those I disagree with and oppose. USA! USA!” the

said wrote
sarcastic.
In all seriousness, Imperioli added, “hatred and ignorance is not a legitimate point of view… it’s called dehumanization.”
Imperioli is one of many celebrities who
spoke out against slamming
the majority conservative Supreme Court voted this week after the group of nine judges

to allow Christians to refuse certain services to same-sex couples; prohibit race-based affirmative action policies in colleges and universities; and blocking President Biden’s plan to cancel millions of student loans.

“In America, your right to practice your religion does not give you the right to discriminate,” Takei tweeted. “If your business is open to the public, you don’t retain a license to discriminate based on religious belief. Religious bigotry is still bigotry. SCOTUS should be ashamed of themselves.”
“I hope any entrepreneur who wants to kick me out for being gay knows how to fight,” Kandy Muse tweeted“because I’m destroying your store on the way out.”
“Legalize discrimination”, Cohen tweeted. “Incredible.”

A number of entertainment celebrities also condemned the Supreme Court ruling on affirmative action.

pointed out that some students “have parents who graduated from the same school. Others have families who can pay coaches to help them run faster or hit a ball harder. Others go to high schools with abundant teacher resources and extensive standardized test preparation which help them score higher on college entrance exams.”
“We don’t usually question whether those students belong,” Obama wrote.
“So often we just accept that money, power and privilege are perfectly justifiable forms of affirmative action, while kids growing up like me are expected to compete when the ground is anything but level.”
