Section 764 prohibits the use of any funds to take "discriminatory action" against anyone who speaks or acts on a belief that marriage should only be between a man and a woman. This broadly protects entities that refuse services to same-sex couples from losing federal grants, contracts, tax exemptions, accreditation, or benefits. For LGBTQ individuals, this could mean reduced access to services from federally funded organizations that decline to serve them based on religious objections.
“none of the funds provided by this Act, or previous appropriations Acts, shall be used in whole or in part to take any discriminatory action against a person, wholly or partially, on the basis that such person speaks, or acts, in accordance with a sincerely held religious belief, or moral conviction, that marriage is, or should be recognized as, a union of one man and one woman.”
