Institutions of faith like religious universities are not being silenced. “They’re being empowered by the U.S. government to discriminate against tens of thousands of LGBTQ students because of religious exemptions, but they still receive federal funding. “It’s more like you want the power to force your religious beliefs onto everyone else and because you …
