Majority of Americans & People of Faith Stand Against Discrimination

May 3, 2017

President Trump is rumored to be planning on signing a religious exemptions executive order on Thursday that would give license to discriminate against LGBTQ Americans and their families.

Polling has affirmed that the majority of Americans, including people of faith, remain opposed to discrimination, including religious-based refusals.

Freedom of religion is a fundamental American value, and it is already protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution.  This executive order would be unnecessary and could cause harm to many hardworking families.
