With Supreme Court LGBTQ decision, marriage equality is at risk - The Boston Globe

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

46% : The hostility of a majority of justices to the 2015 Supreme Court case protecting same-sex marriage is so open that, until they can follow Justice Clarence Thomas's call to overrule that decision, they are determined to strip same-sex couples of civil rights protections that other lawfully married couples enjoy.
45% : The court ruled that, as an artist, the designer was engaging in speech protected by the First Amendment by selling her customized services and thus could not be compelled to serve those whose wedding plans contradict her beliefs about marriage.
44% : But who is any justice to tell us that discrimination against same-sex couples is different, not really a matter of prejudice but honorable when religiously inspired?
42% : Since 1964, this principle has applied to a motel in the heart of Atlanta, Ollie's barbeque joint in Birmingham, Ala., and social clubs and private schools that advertised to the general public.
42% : The same-sex marriage equality decision stands for now, but it should be added to the list of endangered precedents.
38% : Writing for the majority, Justice Neil Gorsuch relied on a prior case in which the court ruled that the organizers of the Boston St. Patrick's Day parade could not be compelled to include a float bearing a banner for the Irish-American Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Group of Boston.
37% : During oral argument, Justice Samuel Alito tried to distinguish between "honorable" religious objection to same-sex marriage, worthy of respect in his view, from opposition to interracial marriage, which he rejected as indecent even if religiously motivated.
