Liberty versus liberty: religious freedom bills trouble gay rights supporters
Here's an issue to ponder...
On the DeseretNews.com website, Mark A. Kellner has some background on an issue exemplified by this recent event:
"The bill comes in the wake of a number of cases across the country in which same-sex couples complained that business owners refused service on the grounds of religious belief. In one prominent example, a New Mexico court said last year that the refusal of wedding photographer Elaine Huguenin to take pictures of a same-sex wedding was not protected under that state's version of the 1993 federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act, or RFRA, since the state was not acting to force an action."
