This bill is contrary to the U.S. Constitution’s guarantee of freedom of religion. I believe that it will be challenged in the courts and will eventually be declared unconstitutional by the U. S. Supreme Court.

Do not let this proposal get even a start and let it be known that the Democrats are behind this idea.

This Act removes protections from those who believe in God’s Word by criminalizing those who

support marriage between a man and a women only, for one example, and esconces special protection for the unbiblical life style choices and criminalizes those that speak out against those that express their religious views and/or by speaking or writing against such lifestyles with the public, including with one’s own children. It is a defacto “hate speech” law, with hate speech being defined by secular values foreign to Christian-Judeo values.


The bill prohibits the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 from providing a claim, defense, or basis for challenging such protections.” The bill essentially nullifies federal and state religious freedom protections by handing authority to the U.S. Department of Justice to interpret and investigate claims of discrimination. While this does not directly indicate that churches would be forced to accommodate same-sex weddings, the language is vague enough in specifying “public accommodations” and “any establishment” to make the concern an issue.
