Religious liberty?
President Trump signed an executive order on religious liberty.” We already have religious freedom. A person has the choice of not doing anything to offend their god.
On the other hand, “religious liberty” means not having others do anything that offends them. Jewish friends don’t eat pork, but do not propose a ban on pork for all others.
This great country was founded on the premises of freedom. That freedom includes freedom of worship. I am a lesbian who is married, by both the Christian church that we belong to and by civil matrimony. I don’t see freedom in worship when one perspective can legally discriminate against another perspective.
