Gregory A. Clark: 'Mormon bigotry isn’t worthy of esteem. Christian bigotry isn’t worthy of esteem. Jewish bigotry isn’t worthy of esteem. Islamic bigotry isn’t worthy of esteem. Secular bigotry isn’t worthy of esteem, either.'
President Joe Biden applauds after signing the Respect for Marriage Act, Tuesday, Dec. 13, 2022, on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington.As one partner in an interracial marriage, I enthusiastically support the provisions in the Respect for Marriage Act that codify the legal right to same-sex and mixed-race marriage., and every decent human being should do so, regardless of whether these provisions involve them directly or not.
More controversially, I don’t “respect” the racist and anti-LGBTQIA+ bigotry of Mormonism, Christianity and Judaism that is proclaimed in their supposedly sacred texts and that is too often practiced by their adherents under the protection of “religious freedom.” “comply with,” or “accept.” Within boundaries, government must “comply with” the First Amendment provision allowing the free exercise of religion.
Mormon bigotry isn’t worthy of esteem. Christian bigotry isn’t worthy of esteem. Jewish bigotry isn’t worthy of esteem. Islamic bigotry isn’t worthy of esteem. Secular bigotry isn’t worthy of esteem, either. But at least secular bigotry doesn’t try to hide behind divine mandates.
