Why the Supreme Court Can’t Save Us From 'Religious Liberty'

Religious freedom is all the rage these days. To hear it told by conservative activists, the constitutional promise of each citizen’s free exercise of religion is under attack like no other time in U.S. history. Surely, such an urgent question is headed for the Supreme Court, right?

Maybe not so fast. Several out attorneys who have spent decades fighting for LGBT civil rights tell The Advocate that we may be settling in for another long, drawn-out battle that challenges discriminatory laws state by state, clause by clause.

“The question is, should religious freedom be used as a sword to create a license to discriminate, to undermine civil rights advances that have already been made?”
