5 reactions to Biden signing gay marriage bill: ‘Landmark moment’ or ‘dark day’?
Alliance Defending Freedom
The Alliance Defending Freedom, a prominent conservative legal group that has won several religious freedom cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, believes the new law will endanger religious liberty.
ADF Senior Vice President of Strategic Initiatives Ryan Bangert said in a statement that the "president and Congress have intentionally threatened free speech and religious liberty with enactment of the 'Respect for Marriage Act,' continuing a pattern of blatant hostility against people of faith."
"Sadly, the president chose virtue-signaling over protecting millions of Americans, churches, and faith-based organizations that spoke out for months about the undeniable harms of this unnecessary bill," he stated.
"This law is a solution in search of a problem that provides no additional protection or benefits to same-sex couples. However, it does undermine the constitutional freedoms that belong to each of us."
