“The ‘Respect For Marriage Act’ Disrespects Faithful Americans”

LTRP Note: The following is posted for informational and research purposes. Since this article by The Federalist was released on 11/22/22, the “Respect of Marriage Act” has won full approval by Congress (House and Senate), and Reuters reported on 12/8/22 that President Biden is expected to soon sign it into law. Currently, this law is not expected to affect non-profit religious groups, but it will affect Christian-based businesses with the potential of leading to arrests, fines, and prison time for dissidents. LGBTQ activists, lobbyists, and lawmakers have deceitfully hidden behind (and likened themselves to) legitimate victims of racism (i.e., discrimination against someone because of his or her race) to get this law passed.

In crafting this bill, sponsors have created a new legal standard that will punish Americans who “cling” to their religious beliefs despite the new orthodoxy about marriage. Click here to continue reading.
