SCOTUS Justice Amy Coney Barrett Urged to Skip LGBTQ+ Rights Case
Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett should recuse herself from an LGBTQ+ rights case the court is scheduled to hear in December, say former members of People of Praise, a religious group to which Barrett belongs.Barrett’s “lifelong and continued” membership in the group means she has anti-LGBTQ+ bias she can’t put aside when hearing the case of a Colorado website designer who wants to refuse services to same-sex couples, even though state law bans such discrimination, the former People of Praise members told The Guardian.People of Praise is an interdenominational conservative Christian group that believes, among other things, that wives should be subservient to their husbands, and it is also anti-LGBTQ+. The group operates Trinity Schools, which has Christian schools in Indiana, Minnesota, and Virginia, where it is clear that LGBTQ+ employees and children of LGBTQ+ parents are not welcome.
