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.

How does he plan to enforce his edict?

The ruling regarded the Constitutional protection against compelled speech, not the right to be a customer. This entertainer seems to be too ignorant or dishonest to acknowledge that.

People are confusing two different issues. One is can you refuse to provide goods or services. The Supreme Court didn't say anything about that.

The second is, if a gay person wants you to make a certain web site are you allowed to say no? The Supreme Court said you don't have to.

So if a gay producer came to Michael Imperioli and said he wanted him to star in a pro-Nazi or anti-vaccine movie, he believes he should be forced to make that movie?

The SC decision also means that a gay web designer can refuse to create a Biblical web site for Christians.

If Mr. Imperioli doesn’t want to create movies and TV performances for “bigots and homophobes” then perhaps he should stick to doing gay porn.

Too much contemplation of too many Bellybuttons will do that to you!
