The Respect for Marriage bill is now more meaningful to historical opponents of LGBTQ people, Noor Noman argues.
It might seem like good news that the U.S. Senate just advanced a bill in support of same-sex marriage. "But as a queer person," Noor Noman writes, "I can't support the bill senators advanced Monday." Noman argues that in the desire to win bipartisan support for the legislation, the bill became more meaningful to historical opponents of LGBTQ people.
"The proof that sponsors of the new legislation gave up too much is evident in the support for the bill from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints," Noman writes. The bill "not only spells out that religious organizations can refuse to marry same-sex couples" but also protects their tax-exempt status "should they choose to discriminate."
