“Nondiscrimination” and Tax-Exempt Status
Greg Baylor has this post at the CLS Blog. He writes:
It appears as though many homosexual rights advocates want the law to treat those who hold traditional views on human sexuality the same way the law treats racists . . .
More evidence that this is not just a paranoid fantasy: Widener law professor Nicholas Mirkay is publishing a second article urging the denial of tax-exempt status to religious entities that “discriminate” on the basis of sexual orientation or marital status.
This is why the pending cases pitting religious associational freedom against certain nondiscrimination rules are so important.
