Michael Imperioli spoke out against the Supreme Court’s decision to allow conservative Christians to refuse some services to same-sex couples.
Michael Imperioli is taking a stand against the Supreme Court, which ruled Friday that conservative Christians have a right to refuse some business services to same-sex couples.
The “Sopranos” and “White Lotus” star declared Saturday on Instagram that he has “decided to forbid bigots and homophobes from watching The Sopranos, The White Lotus, Goodfellas or any movie or TV show” he’s ever appeared in.
Imperioli made his remarks after the Supreme Court sided with a Christian graphic artist from Colorado who didn’t want to design wedding websites for same-sex couples.
“Thank you Supreme Court for allowing me to discriminate and exclude those who I don’t agree with and am opposed to. USA! USA!” the 57-year-old actor wrote sarcastically.
In earnest, Imperioli added, “hate and ignorance is not a legitimate point of view … it’s called dehumanization.”
Imperioli is among multiple celebrities who slammed the majority-conservative Supreme Court this week after the group of nine justices voted 6-3 to permit Christians to refuse some services to same-sex couples; to ban race-based affirmative action policies at colleges and universities; and to block President Biden’s plan to forgive millions of student loans.
