Pro-LGBT bill kills religious liberty: Trump and GOP might not stop it
by David Leach • April 8, 2019 When US Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy created a non-existent constitutional right to same-sex marriage out of thin air in Obergefell v. Hodges, justices in the minority of the 5-4 decision “legalizing†the practice warned of the inevitable threat it created to the First Amendment right to religious freedom.
“Aside from undermining the political processes that protect our liberty, the majority’s decision threatens the religious liberty our Nation has long sought to protect … It appears all but inevitable that the two will come into conflict, particularly as individuals and churches are confronted with demands to participate in and endorse civil marriages between same-sex couples.†– Justice Clarence Thomas
We got a taste of what Thomas feared with the notorious Masterpiece Cakeshop case in Colorado where a baker was nearly driven out of business for refusing to bake a same-sex “wedding†cake because it violated his faith. Owner Jack Phillips appealed to the Supreme Court and won, and even though he ruled with the majority, Justice Kennedy stated that the conflict between the LGBT agenda and religious liberty created a “difficult situation†and would require “further elaboration†from the courts.
