The Federal Government shall not take an adverse action against a person, on the basis that such person acts in accordance with a religious belief that marriage is or should be recognized as the union of one man and one woman, or that sexual relations are properly reserved to such a marriage. As used in subsection (a), an adverse action means any action taken by the Federal Government— acting through the Administrator of the Internal Revenue Service, to— deny or revoke an exemption from taxation under section 501 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 of such person; or disallow a deduction for Federal tax purposes of any charitable contribution made to or by such person; to deny or exclude such person from receiving any Federal grant, contract, cooperative agreement, loan, license, certification, accreditation, employment, or other similar position or status; to deny or withhold from such person any benefit under a Federal benefit program; or to otherwise discriminate against such person.
