Religious freedom attacked

I see from the news that Idaho legislators have refused to add “the four words” “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” to the state human rights law. It kind of makes me wonder if they have taken a lesson from what is happening here in Washington as the result of adding them.

Remember how we were promised that adding the four words would, in no way, prohibit or restrict one’s freedom to practice his or her religious freedom?

We now learn that Washington, via Attorney General Bob Ferguson’s personal assault made possible by Washington’s passing of the four words, has resulted in the voiding of florist Barronelle Stutzman’s former right to practice her sincere religious beliefs.

Making it still more disgusting and alarming is the fact that she is being sued for having done so. Make no mistake, the four words are against religious freedom.
