Lawsuit Challenges North Carolina's Anti-Gay "Religious Freedom" Law For Judges

The homophobe's precious "religious freedom" is under attack again!

North Carolina is one of only two states (the other is Utah) that legally allows local magistrates who issue marriage licenses to deny licenses to same-sex couples if they have a "sincerely held religious objection."

But that law, authored by Senate leader Phil Berger and passed in a fit of anti-gay hysteria after the Supreme Court's ruling on same-sex marriage in June, will finally have its day in court.

On Wednesday, three couples filed a suit against North Carolina that challenges the law, claiming it violates the First Amendment and shields magistrates from obeying laws they swore to uphold when hired.

Those in favor of the law, of course, believe it protects the "religious freedom" of homophobes and that government should allow certain accommodations for people who disagree with same-sex marriage under religious pretenses. People like Kim Davis.

Opponents of the law, like Chris Sgro, executive director of Equality North Carolina, said the law "does not represent the values of inclusion on which North Carolina was built," and that it directly "targets same-sex couples."

According to Berger, the suit is "the latest attempt by the far left's political correctness mob to force their beliefs on everyone else." He claims that "every North Carolinan seeking a gay marriage license since (the bill) became law has received one."

While that is true, it's because North Carolina has been spending taxpayer money to literally bus magistrates who will issue same-sex marriage licenses from different parts of the state to areas where magistrates refuse to issue them.
