The question was posed to the Texas Faith panelists:
"Is a compromise between religious liberty and gay civil rights regarding marriage possible - and if not, which of the two is more important?"
Read the panelists' (which include legal scholars, theologians, and others) responses here. Some of the responses are very scary. In sum, most feel that a clash is inevitable unless religion changes with the times.
For example:
"To the degree a faith belief can tolerate differences and be able to interpret its scriptures in modern times, without sacrificing its core values, than compromise is possible."---Lillian Pinkus, community volunteer, Anti Defamation League activist (Jewish);
"So cooler heads must prevail and religious liberty may have to be compromised to avoid discrimination against LGBT people."---Daniel Kanter, minister, First Unitarian Universalist Church of Dallas
