Consider these insights from Ryan Anderson & Robert George, two of the foremost legal scholars writing today, about SOGI laws (sexual orientation and gender identity laws) versus fundamental human liberties:
"By contrast, SOGI laws are used to impose adherence to an orthodoxy—e.g., to force Catholic schools to employ people who undermine Catholic principles of sexual morality, or Evangelical bakers to celebrate messages about marriage contrary to their faith, or Catholic Charities to violate its faith-based commitment to finding a mom and a dad for every child in need.[W]e need to define explicitly what sort of conduct counts as unlawful, while also protecting everyone’s freedom to engage in legitimate actions based on the convictions that we are created male and female and that male and female are created for each other. Religious liberty is an important human right, but we must also protect parental rights, women’s privacy and safety, and medical professionals’ conscience rights. We must refuse to impose a misguided gender ideology on the nation. This holistic and inclusive approach would achieve true fairness for all."
