Brownback issues order on religious freedom
Gov. Sam Brownback issues an executive order shielding clergy and religious groups from losing state aid or resources over same sex marriage as Kansas recognizes gay unions. The move coincides with state health plan expansions for gay and lesbian workers. He states the ruling infringes religious liberty, while affirming constitutional protections and respect for all Kansans. Additional context notes conservative concerns about tax exempt status and church support for same sex marriage.
