Regarding POTUS’ Executive Orders Relating to Religious Issues

Recently we’ve received numerous inquiries asking our views on potential upcoming US Presidential Executive Orders concerning religion and churches. We have long been clear on such topics as one need look no further than our Policy On Politics to grasp our position on these issues. We have always supported a complete separation of church and state. Similarly, we oppose religious organizations having tax exempt status—we proudly pay our taxes and encourage all churches to do the same.

When it comes to religious discrimination against individuals who identify themselves as LGTBQ, our FAQ makes our positions here very clear. We’ve not only accepted people of all sexualities and gender identification since our founding in 1966, but continue to encourage individuals to seek their own preferred sexual expression with other consenting adults as we endorse indulgence towards personal satisfaction without guilt, bias or any stigma being applied to such natural proclivities.
