PaganNewsBeagle Fiery Tues Jan 13, 2015
In today's Fiery Tuesday post, the Pagan News Beagle brings you: victory for religious rights in Holt v. Hobbs (U.S. Supreme Court); first British gay Pagan marriage; Scotland leads in fossil free electricity; what are the free speech limits of mocking religion?; Heathens supporting #BlackLivesMatter.
The case of Holt v. Hobbs was decided yesterday in the Supreme Court. (See Justice Ginsburg's explanation here.) The decision was another victory for religious rights, even if the petitioner isn't a model plaintiff nor a member of a majority religion.
A luverly first: UK's first gay Pagan marriage was just celebrated in Scotland.
Scotland's doing another thing right: taking the lead in the fossil-free electric grid race.
When does mocking religious beliefs go too far? Most Americans seem to favor broad protections for free speech even if it insults their chosen faith.
San Francisco-based Heathen group Hrafnar has published a statement in solidarity with the #BlackLivesMatter movement.
