A closer look at who attended a private signing ceremony finds some cheerleaders for discrimination.

"To characterize this as a conflict between the religious liberties of some and the civil rights of others is misleading. It is actually a conflict between the comfort level of those with certain religious sensibilities and the civil rights of a historically marginalized and victimized minority.
