Date: April 22, 2015
Subject: Infringing Religious Freedom
Description: Leahy (D-VT) amendment to the Runaway and Homeless Youth Act prevents the federal government from participating in programs designed to fight human trafficking if the program discriminates, regardless of religious belief, on the basis of sexual orientation or "gender identity." America has a long tradition of helping people through faith-based charities, which this bill flies in the face of. ACU supports the right to practice the free exercise of religion and believes no one should be excluded from federal programs for practicing their religion.
Result: Amendment Rejected, 56-43
