Catholic Nuns Sue NY Over State's LGBT Mandate on Pronouns, Bathrooms, and Extramarital Affairs
About this episode
The episode discusses a lawsuit by the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne against New York's LGBTQ Long-Term Care Bill of Rights, which they claim infringes on their religious freedoms.
The Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne say they have run Rosary Hill Home for 125 years, providing free palliative care to thousands of poor, terminally ill cancer patients without taking taxpayer money. New York’s LGBTQ Long-Term Care Bill of Rights now threatens them with fines, license revocation, or prison for refusing to use preferred pronouns, allow opposite-sex bathroom use, or undergo gender ideology training, prompting a religious-freedom lawsuit in which the U.S. Department of Justice has joined them as a co-plaintiff.
