Amelia Markham, a coordinator for The Reformation Project, expressed concern that when Christianity is associated with actions against queer rights, it undermines the mission of the church and harms its credibility in society.
The directive issued by Attorney General Jeff Sessions is viewed by many activists as a 'license to discriminate,' allowing personal religious beliefs to infringe upon the civil rights of queer individuals.
Although conservative Christian groups lead the charge against LGBTQ rights, they do not reflect the views of all American Christians, many of whom advocate for progressive values of love and inclusion.
Sessions' guidance aims to ease the burden on individuals claiming religious freedom violations, potentially placing these beliefs above the established civil rights protections for queer Americans.
