In case you missed some of the news, legaltimes gives a recap (as does many other websites)
Tweets re-posted on CNN's belief blog: here
From some of Utah's other religious traditions: here
And the Mormon Church responds
I would be curious to see if there is a U.S. Muslim, U.S. Jewish response...or even if there are some U.S. Buddhist monks willing to give their opinion...
Even the news is Christian-centered in garnering responses to the Supreme Court's decision as if gay marriage was only sensitive to them, although it is true that the Christian sects were the primary wielders of the bigotry sword. The news in this way perpetuates a false line between Christians and non-Christians in the U.S. This is implicit propaganda creating and divding a cultural identity. And it further enforces the idea of "religious liberty" being a discussion of "christian liberty", this is bogus because it shrouds a bigoted christian discourse under a term in a multi-religious secular discourse.
