You're listening to Comedy Central.

Alfonso, welcome to the Daily Social Distance Show.

Thank you so much for having me.

This week saw a major ruling for LGBTQ plus advocates all over America who were petrified,

that the Supreme Court would rule that the Civil Rights Act did not protect them.

And this ruling came out and people really breathed a collective sigh of relief

as the president of the Human Rights Campaign.

What does this ruling mean for you and what do you think it meant for everybody out there?

This ruling is so incredibly significant.

Work is central to our lives.

There's so few of us who can afford not to work.

And when we work, we're able to take care of ourselves, we're able to take care of our families.

And to have the Supreme Court say that LGBTQ people are protected by federal civil rights laws

is so significant because there are so many people that are fearful of coming out of work.

They're fearful of telling their co-workers that they got married.

They're fearful of just being themselves.

So at this core, this decision provides a level of dignity to LGBTQ people.

They have been fearful that the court would issue a different ruling,

but we're really happy that the court stood on the side, the right side of history.

If we look at the ruling though, a lot of people are worried that this now sets up a battle

for people to try and claw back some of those oppressions of the LGBTQ community.

Do you have any concerns about that? Do you think that they'll now be a backlash?
