In recent years, this question has become intensely controversial in America. The Supreme Court & s ruling on same-sex marriage, in particular, has provoked barbed debates about legal exemptions. At the core of these debates lies the question of whether basic values of equality and nondiscrimination are at odds with the right to live according to one & s religious beliefs.In Exemptions: Necessary, Justified, or Misguided?
