The text of the bill now reads (in part):
(a) IN GENERAL.—Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Federal Government shall not take any discriminatory action against a person, wholly or partially on the basis that such person believes, speaks, or acts in accordance with a sincerely held religious belief or moral conviction that—
(1) marriage is or should be recognized as the union of—
(2) extramarital relations are improper.
- (A) two individuals of the opposite sex; or
- (B) two individuals of the same sex; or
Note that this changed language is not provided by congress.gov but, rather, by Paul Ladrador via Family Research Council.
Previously, that section read:
(a) In general.—Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Federal Government shall not take any discriminatory action against a person, wholly or partially on the basis that such person believes or acts in accordance with a religious belief or moral conviction that marriage is or should be recognized as the union of one man and one woman, or that sexual relations are properly reserved to such a marriage.I am loathe to agree with Perkins but he is correct. The bill is now meaningless with respect to its original discriminatory purpose.
