Kansas gay marriage backlash sparks religious liberty bill
In Topeka supporters pressed lawmakers to back a bill shielding bakers photographers and others who refuse services for same sex weddings citing religious liberty while gay rights advocates warn it could legalize broad discrimination and defy court rulings. The House committee heard testimony as allies of conservatives and the Kansas Catholic Conference argue the measure would protect religious liberty from federal court challenges to the state's gay marriage ban. Opponents say it allows discrimination by individuals businesses and groups and could enable officials to ignore rulings supporting gay marriage. The panel continued hearings with no date set for action.
