Marc Stern, general counsel of the American Jewish Congress, has a good column in the L.A. Times today. He concludes: “If past rulings are any guide, it is religious rights that are likely to be “obliterated” by an emerging popular majority supporting same-sex relationships — and it seems unlikely that the California courts will intervene. That’s a shame.”
Stern echoes a lot of the points Maggie Gallagher made two years ago in a cover story for the Weekly Standard . That article is well-worth (re-)reading.
