The Oklahoma House and Senate have passed a religious freedom bill to protect the rights of clergy.

The legislation says pastors and others who perform weddings can not be forced to perform same-sex ceremonies if that violates their religious beliefs.

The measure also shields churches from being required to participate in any same-sex weddings.

The Oklahoma House voted 87-8 for the bill Wednesday, while a nearly identical bill passed the state Senate on a 38-5 vote. All opposing votes came from Democrats.
