Box 1023 LAMBDA LEGAL DEFENSE & Jackson, MS 39215-1023 EDUCATION FUND, INC. 730 Peachtree Street Suite 640 Atlanta, GA 30308 i QUESTIONS PRESENTED In Obergefell v. Hodges, 135 S. Ct. 2584 (2015), this Court held that the Constitution entitles same- sex couples to join in civil marriage on the same terms as different-sex couples. In response, Missis- sippi enacted the Protecting Freedom of Conscience from Government Discrimination Act, Miss. Code Ann. § 11-62-1 et seq. (2016) (“HB 1523”). HB 1523 grants broad immunity to any person who commits enumerated acts of discrimination on the basis of religious beliefs or moral convictions opposing mar- riage of same-sex couples; transgender individuals; and sexual relations outside of a male-female mar- riage. The court of appeals held that petitioners, who do not share the endorsed beliefs, lack standing un- der the Establishment Clause because the religious endorsement takes the form of a statute rather than a religious display that they can physically encoun- ter, and held that they lack standing under the Equal Protection Clause because they have suffered no unequal treatment.

They contend that the law violates the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution. The Attorney General’s Office has entered its appearance to defend HB 1523. The parties briefed the relevant issues and presented evidence and argument at a joint hearing on June 23 and 24, 2016. The United States Supreme Court has spoken clearly on the constitutional principles at stake.

  • David Bowen Interview Oral History Program Congressional and Political Research Center at Mississippi State University
    David Bowen Interview Oral History Program Congressional and Political Research Center at Mississippi State University This is an interview with former Congressman David Bowen on July 10, 2001at his home in Jackson, Mississippi at 75 Eastbrook. I am Mike Ballard, coordinator of Congressional and Political Research Center at Mississippi State University. DR. BALLARD: I know you were born in Chickasaw County and grew up MR. BOWEN: Well, I got into politics by accident. As it were, I happened to be born in Chickasaw County because my mother was from Monroe County and my father was an appraiser for the Federal Land Bank. And which was one of those agencies created to do something about the great agricultural depressions, off and on, of the twentieth century starting in the twenties and into the thirties. He was training there and so I happened to be born there but I was only there for a few months before my family moved to Cleveland, Mississippi, in the Delta, which was a place appropriately located for farm appraisers. My father bought a farm there and he also owned a farm where he was raised, up between Holly Springs and Senatobia, Tate and Marshall Counties in North Mississippi. So he was a farmer by background. He went to Mississippi State and had an agricultural degree from there but rather than farm he ended up in farm appraising so he farmed on the side, owned two farms, one we bought in Boliver County and the one we owned up in North Mississippi in Tate and Marshall Counties.
