Don’t expect a religious freedom order

Don’t expect a religious freedom order February 7, 2017

Celebrating_a_new_America_-lovewins_58242_(18588276403)A draft copy of an Executive Order on religious freedom was leaked, creating indignation among liberals and joy among social conservatives.  It would allow for an exemption for those whose religious beliefs do not allow for accommodation on LGBT issues.

But Trump has been given a whole raft of Executive Order drafts, whose supporters hope for his signature.  Now it’s being reported that this one is not going to be signed.

 It would appear to violate his previous commitment to non-discrimination for LGBT folks.
