Now that the U.S. Supreme Court has reached a historical decision finding that bans on same-sex marriage are unconstitutional, the next fight for LGBT rights will be when they conflict with religious rights, CNN's Daniel Burke writes.
The dissenting justices in the U.S. Supreme Court chided Justice Anthony Kennedy, author of the majority opinion recognizing a constitutional right to same-sex marriage, for not mentioning the First Amendment's clause protecting the free exercise of religion, Burke reports. For example, Chief Justice John Roberts asked what will happen when a religious college provides student housing only to heterosexual couples or a faith-based adoption agency refuses to place children with same-sex spouses. '""There is little doubt that these and similar questions will soon be before this Court. Unfortunately, people of faith can take no comfort in the treatment they receive from the majority today,'" Roberts opined in dissent.
