B) I'm of two minds on this. First, I see nothing wrong with subpoenas to gather evidence relevant to the case in question. On the other hand, I don't see how what is said within the church is relevant to the case.
It is to be expected that evangelicals (and many other Christians) will be upset by this ordinance. It is, after all, mostly religious organizations that are perpetuating anti-homosexuality rhetoric. Unlike the civil rights era of the 1960s and 1970s, when many churches took the lead in ending the injustice, today churches are the ones perpetuating the injustice. I think it is a mistake. Eventually, this tide will turn, and churches will be on the wrong side of history this time. In the future, history books will likely see the relationship between churches and the LGBTQ community in the 2010s and 2020s as analogous to the relationship between the KKK and Neo-Nazis and the black community in the 1950s and 1960s.
