Not really sure how he could lose. How do we allow the government to tell people what to do based on religion? Isn't accepting of gay marriage a religion with the left? Certainly.
Assuming what is reported is correct here is a snippet from the article:
The commission member was Diann Rice.
“I would also like to reiterate what we said in the hearing or the last meeting,” Rice said. “Freedom of religion and religion has been used to justify all kinds of discrimination throughout history, whether it be slavery, whether it be the Holocaust, whether it be – I mean, we – we can list hundreds of situations where freedom of religion has been used to justify discrimination. And to me it is one of the most despicable pieces of rhetoric that people can use to – to use their religion to hurt others.”
This is a prime example of liberals knowing so much which isn't so. Slavery was never justified by the use of religion that is just plain flat out wrong. It was economics that justified American slavery. When I read crap like this from liberals it makes me shutter to think they are in any position of power.
Here is more from the same person proving again she knows so much that isn't so.
During the same hearing, ADF reported, Rice also erroneously stated “the U.S. Supreme Court has found over and over that you cannot discriminate on the basis of race, and sexual orientation is a status absolutely like race.”
The truth:
ADF noted the U.S. Supreme Court has never found that sexual orientation is a status equivalent to race. In fact, the high court has twice held that the First Amendment bars the government from relying on sexual orientation nondiscrimination laws to force people or groups to speak messages with which they disagree.
