Alabama Center for Law and Liberty opposes Montgomery ordinance

The conservative Alabama Center for Law and Liberty on Monday sent a letter on behalf of itself and six allied organizations urging that the Montgomery City Council to reject a proposed ordinance that they say would require Christians to violate their religious beliefs or face fines under certain circumstances.

The proposed ordinance would make sexual orientation and gender identity protected classes under the law. The ACLL claims that across the country, ordinances like these have caused problems for Christians and other people who have religious objections to the homosexual lifestyle and transgenderism

The ACLL said for example, in Colorado, a Christian cake shop owner named Jack Phillips has been immersed in nine years of litigation because he would not bake a cake to celebrate a same-sex wedding or a person’s gender transition.

ACLL and its allied organizations are concerned that similar cases would arise in Montgomery.
