Dr. Stanley Carlson-Thies Comments on Religious Exemptions in SSM Laws

In a Christianity Today Online post, Dr. Stanley Carlson-Thies commented on the importance of religious exemptions in same-sex marriage laws. You can find the article here.

Here is his key passage from the piece:

Opposing same-sex marriage on its merits is not an effective long-term strategy, according to Stanley Carlson-Thies, president of the Institutional Religious Freedom Alliance. And not just because younger people poll higher in their acceptance of gay marriage.

“There is a decreasing worry about same-sex relations—maybe because a lot of us know somebody in a same-sex relationship,” he said. “There has also been a change in what people regard as equal treatment.”
