Quote by Kay Hagan

Religious institutions should have religious freedom on this issue. No church or minister should ever have to conduct a marriage that is inconsistent with their religious beliefs. But I think as a civil institution, this issue's time has come and we need to move forward.

Religious institutions should have religious freedom on this

Summary

This quote emphasizes the separation between religious institutions and civil institutions when it comes to issues such as marriage. It argues that while religious organizations should have the freedom to adhere to their own beliefs and not be forced to conduct marriages that contradict those beliefs, from a civil standpoint, progress is necessary. It suggests that society as a whole should recognize the need to move forward and address the issue of marriage equality as a civil right, independent of religious beliefs.
