Abstract
The movement for LGBT equality achieved a seminal victory in June 2015 -- the Supreme Court held in Obergefell v. Hodges that same-sex marriage bans violated the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. In the face of this triumph, many people of faith continue to disapprove of same-sex marriage. They are now advocating for spaces of objection that will, among other things, allow them to disclaim the need to follow anti-discrimination norms that might result in even a tangential connection to the marriage ceremonies themselves. This Essay sketches some of the most recent controversies flowing from the rearguard effort, and briefly considers the possibility, or even the propriety, of compromise between pro-equality advocates and those whose objections are rooted in faith.
