Last month, President Obama issued an executive order prohibiting federal contractors from discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. Equally notable is what the president didn’t do: He refused to exempt religious organizations. That was the right call. Religious organizations have a constitutional right to disapprove of homosexuality, but if they are paying their employees with funds from a federal contract they must be bound by the same anti-discrimination provisions as other contractors.
