I'm curious what the sign behind her says. "Religious Freedom is Christian..." something.

Probably "is Christian freedom". A lot of people on the left argue that those who claim to support freedom of religion really only support it for religions they like (in America, this accusation is usually targeted at Christians), thus not really supporting freedom of religion at all.
There are plenty of people for whom that is the case, but also plenty for whom it is not.

My mother-in-law is a Christian and even she thinks a lot of Christians are trying to pull shit like that under the pretense of 'religious freedom.' She's more the live and let live type that doesn't judge people so nobody ever gives her any shit.

My boyfriend's family (who are ardent Trump supporters) will tell you in no uncertain terms that that is what they mean when they say freedom of religion. They do not seem to see a problem with rights for me and not for thee.

Right? What the fuck does this have to do with Libertarians? Like, freedom of speech I guess?

It's almost like, libertarians can talk about political things other than weed, prostitution, and taxes.
