The Supreme Court on Nov. 3 sounded likely to side with the Catholic Church in the latest high court dispute that pits religious rights against anti-discrimination protections for LGBTQ+ people.

The justices debated for about two hours whether Colorado can require Catholic preschools to accept children of gay parents as a condition of public funding.

In recent years, the conservative court has robustly backed the First Amendment right to practice religion without government interference. A broad ruling for the church could pave the way for a wider range of religious exemptions from nondiscrimination laws.

    require Catholic preschools to accept children of gay parents as a condition of public funding.

    Quite the important detail here. If this passes then I can’t wait for the state funded Satanic preschools who teach about the dangers of Abrahamic religions.
