Religious Conservatives Look Towards Supreme Court Rulings on Religious Liberty

The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in favor of protecting gay and transgender rights in the workplace, marking a defeat for religious conservatives. Two conservative justices played key roles in the decision, which was met with both criticism and a pivot to other religious liberty cases. Religious groups hope for a broad application of the ministerial exemption in upcoming cases, aiming to balance religious freedom with nondiscrimination laws. This ruling underscores the ongoing legal battles around religious liberty and equality.
