Of course, conservative Christians have the same constitutional right as people of other faiths and people who are religiously unaffiliated to bring their values into public debate on controversial issues. No American’s rights or opportunities should be restricted based on their religious beliefs. It would be wrong, for example, to reject a judicial nominee because her church teaches that homosexuality is a sin. But it is absolutely appropriate to ask whether such a nominee for a lifetime position on the federal courts would commit, regardless of her church’s teaching, to upholding the constitutional and legal equality of LGBTQ Americans.
