Anti-LGBTI \u2018religious freedom\u2019 bill is effectively dead in Missouri<\/b>
\n\"Senate<\/p>\n

Missouri won’t be enacting a so-called ‘religious freedom’ law – at least not this year.<\/p>\n

Senate Joint Resolution 39, which sought to make it legal for clergy and wedding vendors to decline to participate in a same-sex<\/a> wedding, was voted down by the House Emerging Issues Committee on Wednesday (27 April).<\/p>\n

If the bill had passed both houses of the Missouri legislature, it would have been put on the ballot for voters to decide on.<\/p>\n

‘I am deeply disappointed that Missourians will not have the opportunity to vote on protecting religious freedom,’ Senator Bob Onder, who sponsored the proposal, said in a statement.<\/p>\n

He pointed out that seven weeks ago the Missouri Senate stood through the longest filibuster in state history and voted 23–7 to advance SJR 39.<\/p>\n

‘House members caved to pressure from special interests and killed the religious freedom amendment,’ he stated. ‘It is wrong that Missouri voters will be denied a voice in the decision-making process.’<\/p>\n

But House Minority Leader Jacob Hummel applauded the House committee.<\/p>\n

‘The ultimate issue here is whether our state constitution protects all Missourians or grants special rights to some to detriment of others,’ he stated.<\/p>\n

‘In the years to come, I am confident today’s action will be remembered as being on the right side of history.’<\/p>\n
