Back in June, I posted about the Becket Fund’s recent conference exploring the emerging conflicts between same-sex marriage and religious liberty.

The conference has prompted lots of press attention, and links to most of the coverage (and the draft conference papers) are available here.

This issue has now come up again in Philadelphia. The City recently threatened to start charging the Boy Scouts rent in the city-subsidized headquarters that the Scouts have occupied for 78 years, because of the Scouts’ opposition to homosexual conduct. So today, the Philadelphia Inquirer published an op-ed by one of our attorneys, Roger Severino, on both the new situation in Philadelphia, and the broader problem addressed in our conference. The op-ed is available through this link.

Unfortunately, this is only the beginning – these conflicts will come up more and more frequently as time passes, and their outcome remains uncertain.
