Tennessee Republicans pass bill allowing marriage discrimination toward same-sex couples
“The push to allow people to discriminate is strong in Tennessee, where the state senate approved a bill on Monday that could potentially allow individuals to refuse to officiate marriages based on their personal beliefs, including objections to LGBTQ+ weddings. The legislation, Senate Bill 596, declares that “a person shall not be required to solemnize a marriage if the person has an objection to solemnizing the marriage based on the person’s conscience or religious beliefs.”

@metta please explain why – according to your source – it’s ok (not “backward”) for Arab/Muslim countries to discriminate against gays, but not for Tennessee or Alabama? Ditto abortion bans, or even ERA and the treatment of women. Why is it ok for a conservative Muslim to say that gays should be executed and women should be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen (it’s just different cultural values), but wrong for a conservative Christian to say the same thing?
Note: I’m not supporting these Medieval, backward, beliefs. Just pointing out the hypocrisy.
