TL;DR

The Supreme Court's recent decisions on affirmative action and a wedding website designer's right to refuse service to same-sex couples reveal a stark contrast in how the court treats different identities. While racial minorities and LGBTQ+ individuals are required to conform their identities to fit the court's demands, those claiming religious exemptions are given free rein to shape their religious identity as they please, even if it allows them to discriminate against others. This unequal treatment creates a caste system and fundamentally alters the Constitution.
