After Hobby Lobby, Right-Wingers Pray Gays Are Next
After Hobby Lobby, Right-Wingers Pray Gays Are Next
A couple of them expressed that hope via Twitter today.
Today's Supreme Court ruling in the Hobby Lobby case has some activists worried that if companies can opt out of birth control coverage for religious reasons, they might try to opt out of anything that benefits their LGBT employees. Some legal experts are saying that's unlikely, but at least a couple of right-wing leaders have declared they'd like to see it happen.
Hateful tweets in this vein came today from political commentator Matt Barber and Americans for Truth About Homosexuality president Peter LaBarbera, first posted by Right Wing Watch. Take a look below.
