Postscript on Same Sex "Marriage" and Civil Rights

The NY Times has echoed (free registration required) reports, mentioned earlier here, of expected religious discrimination from the same sex "marriage" movement. The source of this information is a non-partisan group of legal scholars, many of them supporters of same sex "marriage."

Excerpts:

Marc D. Stern, whose many years handling religious freedom cases for the American Jewish Congress have made him an expert in the area, can hardly be identified as a conservative agitator. Yet he firmly believes that legal recognition of same-sex marriage will make clashes with religious liberty "inevitable."

. . .

Chai R. Feldblum, a professor at Georgetown University Law Center and a proponent of same-sex marriage, agrees that permitting gay couples equal access to civil marriage will inevitably burden the religious liberty of those religiously opposed.

. . .

The Becket papers . . . are serious legal analyses. . . . virtually all the writers see same-sex marriage creating potential conflicts with the religious liberty of institutions and individuals rejecting such marriages on religious grounds.

. . .

Potential conflicts are "real and serious."
