Letter: Who does Lee’s ‘liberty’ apply to?

(Susan Walsh | AP file photo via pool) Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, speaks during the confirmation hearing for Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett, before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Wednesday, Oct. 14, 2020, on Capitol Hill in Washington.

I wonder if Sen. Mike Lee’s definition of “liberty” in his statement that “Democracy isn’t the objective; liberty, peace, and prosperity are. We want the human condition to flourish” includes the liberty of gay people to marry the person they love and flourish in a family of affection where they enjoy all the civil rights afforded to all other married people?
