There was one case for example in the US around a website designer who didn’t want to make a website for like a gay wedding or a gay event and felt that her religious conviction didn’t allow her to do that. Probably unlikely that many gay couples were using this website service because it didn’t seem like a very established or big business, but nonetheless it ended up being a really major case. And this is a way to kind of try to create a precedent and cases like this have appeared in different countries to create a precedent to say that religious liberty can trump anti-discrimination protections towards queer people. There’s other examples like the kind of Kim Davis cases from some years ago where a county clerk, you know, books of religious conviction did not want to approve marriage licenses for gay people. There’s other kind of cases that really present LGBTI people as a threat to the family or to kind of rights of the family.
