License to Discriminate: LGBTQ Rights, Religious Exemption, and the Misreading of the Bible

License to Discriminate: LGBTQ Rights, Religious Exemption, and the Misreading of the Bible

Here at the end of Pride, I want to discuss the long, bigoted history and false scriptural basis of religious opposition to LGBTQ rights, and the effort of the religious right to seek an exemption to anti-discrimination laws so that they can persecute gay and trans people. UPDATE: since the production of this episode, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of religious objection to LGBTQ+ books in the case Mahmoud v. Taylor.
