Same-Sex Marriage Increases Potential Conflicts with Religious Freedom
Heritage Foundation has published a research piece examining the potential for conflict between religious liberty and same-sex “marriage.”
We have written about examples of this conflict before–specifically when it comes to bakers, florists, and photographers forced by courts to participate in same-sex weddings or face severe penalties. In fact, this loss of religious liberty was called by one judge, “the price of citizenship.”
Heritage Foundation writes,
“Legal recognition of same-sex marriage will increase the potential for conflicts with religious freedom. The recent Supreme Court ruling in United States v. Windsor intensifies these concerns by characterizing traditional marriage policy as a form of irrational prejudice.”
