Making LGBT a Protected Class Will Kill Religious Liberty

T.R. Clancy. . . "Like their federal cousin, the Equality Act, these laws can't ensure equality because, as gay writer Brad Polumbo explains, they work by "elevating [LGBT] rights over those of religious Americans."  

"Senator Moss isn't even pretending this isn't the case." . . .

. . . "Even when we call our hitmen "doctors," and the murders they commit "health care." Or castration "gender transitioning."

"When the old progressives attacked religion, they mistakenly saw themselves as defending modern science from primitive superstitions.  Matthew Arnold rejected miracles outright, and called for a critical effort, "in all branches of knowledge, theology, philosophy, history, art, science, to see the object as in itself it really is."  But the last thing today's progressives are willing to tolerate is anyone pointing out the object as in itself it really is.  Our best-educated professors, lawyers, and doctors refuse to permit an unborn child to be referred to as a human baby, his bearer as a mother, or a gender dysphoric teenaged "transgendered male" as exactly what she is: a girl.  Today's war on religious liberty isn't being waged by clear-eyed progressives against bitter clingers determined to force their dark superstitions on the nation; it's being waged by a radical clerisy properly terrified that their counterfeit science is being exposed — including by clear-eyed believers — as the superstitious mumbo-jumbo that it is." . . .
