New York Versus the Nuns: The Dominican Sisters Face Penalties for Refusing to Yield on Religious Values
New York is now going head-to-head with a group of Dominican nuns over a law challenged as unconstitutional. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and the state are being sued over a law that forces religious organizations to adhere to LGBTQ policies.
“We are consecrated religious Sisters and have one mission. It is to provide comfort and skilled care to persons dying of cancer who cannot afford nursing care. We do not take insurance or government funds or money from our patients or families. The care is totally free…
We are supported by the goodness of our benefactors. We do this without discriminating on the basis of race, religion, or sex. We do it because Jesus taught us that, when the least among us are sick, we should care for them, as if they were Christ himself.”
Hochul signed the law on Nov. 30, 2023, billed as creating a “Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender, and people living with HIV long-term care facility residents’ bill of rights.” The law bans long-term care facilities and staff “from discriminating against any resident on the basis of a resident’s actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or HIV status.”
The Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne, who run Rosary Hill Home in Hawthorne, New York, objected that the law requires them to assign rooms by gender identity, not biological sex; allow access to opposite-sex bathrooms and coerce speech recognizing identities and relationships that violate Catholic values. It would also require staff training on gender ideology and the posting a public notice stating compliance with these demands.
Hochul remains committed to compelling the nuns to comply — a position that may prove costly with Catholic voters in the upcoming election.
The Supreme Court has repeatedly struck down anti-discrimination laws compelling speech or conduct in violation of religious values.
Face it. MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ people, and their supporters, are freedom-hating fascists!!!!!
Woke hegemony is dead!
