Good article from a Libertarian perspective. If gays want to call their relationships “marriage” and have a big party, that’s their business. But they are violating the free association rights of others by using some favorable judicial rulings to harass devout Christian small business owners.
McGurn’s a traditionalist and a Catholic who has been very critical of libertarians in the past. While I’m sure he welcomes their defense of religious liberties, I’m also sure it must pain him that more religious leaders, especially Catholics, haven’t been equally outspoken in defense of the original Indiana law.
It is a shame that so few conservative leaders are willing to step up and point out that the Christian business owners are being harassed, that the lavender mafia is taking advantage of the situation in hopes of some quick money and a chance to kick Christians.
