So will this protect wedding vendors who get sued over not participating in homosexual marriage???
This will put a wad in the panties of the secular humanists. Might even throw down the gauntlet to the Islamic terrorists, who may suddenly realize that the Christian heritage of that territory once known as “the United States of America”, makes this no longer an easy conquest.

If Muslims can get away with sexual assault, I would think so. A cake is no big deal by comparison.
No it will not. It will prevent the DoJ from assisting plaintiffs in such cases, but the EO has no standing to determine judicial proceedings, nor should it. And it has no power to compel state and local jurisdictions to follow its lead. That can only be done by Law and only if the Law passes the test of following the Constitution.
This allows the pulpit to speak directly about politicians who defy Judeo-Christian ethics without reprisal.
This is long over due. Amazing that no other president even Reagan proposed to do this.
xkaydet65 provided an excellent answer at post 21, highlighting the article's clearly stated claim that Trump's proposed Executive Order applies specifically and only to the federal executive branch.
But there is the implied potential not only for individual states to use this as a model for their executive branches but also for the US Congress to act. Indeed, a Constitutional Amendment augmenting the First Amendment would then be in-play.
