USA Today: ?Business, morality and gay marriage: A buzz word bonanza?

By ADF Alliance Alert

ADVERTISEMENTS

Cathy Lynn Grossman has this post at USA Today comparing and contrasting comments by RNC Chairman Michael Steele with comments by ADF attorney Austin R. Nimocks. Michael Steele saying marriage redefinition will harm small businesses: "Now all of a sudden I've got someone who wasn't a spouse before, that I had no responsibility for, who is now getting claimed as a spouse that I now have financial responsibility for. So how do I pay for that? Who pays for that? You just cost me money." Austin R. Nimocks: "The [NH] governor is right to recognize the threat to religious liberty, but he underestimates the threat by a long shot. Where are the protections for business owners with religious objections to recognizing same-sex marriages? " Regarding Austin's comments, Grossman observes: "The concern is here is not so much that business owners might need to provide benefits but that they would be forced to recognize client's or potential client's 'counterfeit 'marriages'... or face severe consequences."
