Bishop Gene Robinson
Openly gay Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson penned an essay on the Washington Post’s On Faith blog in support of Maryland’s upcoming marriage equality referendum in which he made the case for the state law’s strong religious protections and exemptions.
As he argued strongly for how religious freedom will be protected, he also took the state’s Catholic bishops to task for spreading false information about this issue:
“Maryland’s Roman Catholic bishops’ caution that marriage equality ‘infringe[s] upon the religious liberties of individuals and institutions’ displays either an ignorance of what the law actually says, or an intentional distortion of the truth.”
–Francis DeBernardo, New Ways Ministry
