Hawley said lines must mark participation in ceremonies, not blanket business refusals, aligning with a broader post Supreme Court push to protect religious rights amid gay marriage legality. PROMO and others warn against broader discrimination safeguards while Hawley ties proposals to avoiding a culture war.
