As many of you know, Texas has passed a Pastor Protection Bill relative to Religious Freedom. Following the SCOTUS rewrite of law, the House is considering a type of protection bill for Churches nationwide.
Just days after the court’s ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges legalized gay marriage nationwide, Republicans in the House of Representatives introduced a bill that would ensure nobody could be discriminated against based on their views on gay marriage.
Representative Raul Labrador (R-ID) introduced a bill, H.R. 2802 Labrador, to “prevent discriminatory treatment of any person on the basis of views held with respect to marriage.”
The bill would protect the tax-exempt status of churches and organizations that believed in traditional marriage.
It would strictly forbid any attempt to “alter in any way the Federal tax treatment of, or cause any tax, penalty, or payment to be assessed against, or deny, delay, or revoke an exemption from taxation under section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.”
