Big Cash In Bed With Big Gay


You might think that Indiana's Religious Freedom Restoration Act was rolled back by enraged squadrons of oppressed interior designers and hairdressers. Try adding Corporate America to the equation.

Here's Patrick Deneen, writing for First Things:

"This past spring, we saw something quite different and revealing and worrying. With the imprimatur of American elites, which was clearly given in the furor over Indiana’s RFRA, religiously based opposition to gay marriage is now more than ever likely to be treated by our society as tantamount to a hate crime. This elite-sanctioned attack on “bigotry” will not stop at Memories Pizza. It will be extended first to religious nonprofit institutions that insist upon the view that marriage is between a man and a woman—the schools, the colleges, the adoption services—and then will reach inevitably into the sanctuaries of the churches ­themselves. The narrative of bigotry will demand nothing less, and the protection that might have been afforded by RFRA and the First Amendment has been shown to be a parchment barrier in comparison with the might and power of cultural and financial elites."

Big Cash in bed with Big Gay? Better believe it. You can read the whole thing here.

Have a blessed Feast of the Ascension.
