Christian Science Monitor: “Gay marriage: a new bind for church groups”
The Christian Science Monitor reports:
As gay marriage gains wider legal footing, scholars anticipate a flood of such conscientious objector cases. A key flash point will be religiously affiliated organizations that serve the public, such as hospitals, schools, and adoption agencies, and hold beliefs opposed to gay marriage . . .
“As gays come out of the closet, conservative religious people are put back in the sanctuary,” says Marc Stern, general counsel for the American Jewish Congress in New York . . .
“If the courts treat this as a ban on racial discrimination,” says Stern, “then there’s not much likelihood that any religious claims will survive.” . . .
