(CNN) The state of Oregon is preparing to make a decision regarding when that state would end its ban on same-sex marriage.

For now, state lawmakers just approved a constitutional amendment that would allow state-controlled corporations – including religious organizations – to refuse to hire same-sex couples who wish to marry.

The state has the right to decide whether the state should continue to issue same-sex marriage licenses to same-sex couples, based primarily on their religious beliefs. And if the state does decide to expand the list of individuals exempt from that exemption, it could begin giving gays and lesbians the same rights as heterosexuals and LGBT couples in Oregon, including religious exemptions.

Oregon now stands for the religious liberty of all citizens, regardless of their sexual orientation , and its decision to end an unconstitutional federal law that protects discrimination against people of all ages and abilities is an important step toward restoring constitutional equality, said Rep. Andy Harris (R-Portland).

A religious freedom bill before the state legislature that was supposed to allow Oregon businesses to deny same-sex couples religious exemptions would have allowed the Legislature to make a decision that would affect everyone’s rights. Under the amendment, however, the legislature would not have to vote on the matter before the vote to amend what has become a national law.

The Oregon Supreme Court upheld the Supreme Court’s decision in Hobby Lobby v. Sebelius, a case on which state Supreme Court justices concluded the federal RFRA, which prohibited religious organizations from recognizing same-sex marriages for religious reasons, does not violate the state’s religious freedom. Under the amendment, Oregon states could not block Oregon businesses from hiring people based solely on their religious views, though they could block any discrimination based on their sexuality, whether or not such a discriminatory practice involves a church, synagogue or other religious denomination.

As the Supreme Court said in the Hobby Lobby decision, the state could not discriminate against individuals based on their sex, their belief or their race, gender or religion, religious or no religion.

The Supreme Court ruled in 2012 in a case involving a state law allowing companies to discriminate against gay and lesbian couples by providing subsidies for religious organizations to do business. But after the
