Religious Liberty after Obergefell: WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD?

Ryan T. Anderson, Ph.D., researches and writes about marriage and religious liberty as the William E. Simon Senior Research Fellow in American Principles and Public Policy at the Heritage Foundation.  Anderson’s recent work at Heritage focuses on the constitutional questions surrounding same-sex marriage. He is the author of Truth Overruled: The Future of Marriage and Religious Freedom (Regnery Books, July 2015), the first book-length response to the Supreme Court’s 2015 ruling on marriage. He is also the co-author with Princeton’s Robert P. George and Sherif Girgis of the acclaimed book What Is Marriage? Man and Woman: A Defense (Encounter Books, December 2012). 

 

Anderson was cited by Justice Clarence Thomas in his dissenting opinion in the 2015 Supreme Court case involving state marriage laws. And Justice Samuel Alito cited him twice in his dissenting opinion in the 2013 Supreme Court case involving the Defense of Marriage Act.
