Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Federal Government shall not take any discriminatory action against a person, wholly or partially on the basis that such person believes or acts in accordance with a religious belief or moral conviction that marriage is or should be recognized as the union of one man and one woman, or that sexual relations are properly reserved to such a marriage.



I have a counter-proposal:
No natural, corporate or artificial person shall be forced by the Federal Government or a sub-branch thereof to comply with religious beliefs or moral convictions that are not shared by the aforementioned person, except where the implementation of said religious beliefs or moral convictions is identical to existing provisions of the law of the land.

2. What's next a bill protecting people who threaten clinics?

There is an article about a right-wing nutjob who is being sued for saying she was going to blow up a clinic. Sick rightwing fucks.
