In fact, explicitly legalizing homophobic and transphobic discrimination on religious grounds ALMOST means legalizing all homophobic and transphobic discrimination.

It’s rare to find people who want to discriminate on non-religious grounds.

Allowing religious faith to justify unequal treatment makes a mockery of civil rights.

In areas where federal regulation has already allowed such discrimination, Pandora’s Box has cracked wide open. Agencies that wanted the right to bar LGBTQ people from services are now excluding Jews and Catholics too.
