I love how anti-gay people try to work that angle that chuches and religious figures will be forced to do anything as a result of any gay rights legislation being proposed right now.
- Yes, marrying gays at gunpoint! Those faggots all carry guns, I guess.Josev
- i think what American churches are scared of is losing tax exempt status due to discriminationlocustsloth
- Umm, no gay marriage would EVER be administered in a church or by a religious figure.monospaced
- Meaning that if the churches discriminate (don't allow SSM's) they'll have to pony up a bunch of money.locustsloth
- Also, the church has no monopoly on marriage, despite what they might think.monospaced
- which they should if they want the ability to exclude anyonelocustsloth
- i feel like a lot of steam would be taken out of the anti-gay marriage argument if churches felt like they were safe from taxationlocustsloth
- taxationlocustsloth
- churches ARE safe from taxationmonospaced
- what i mean is if they were assured continued exemption even if they refused to perform gay marriageslocustsloth
- Because you KNOW someone will bring a lawsuit or civil action against some church for refusing.locustsloth
- But if churches have protection against such actions, one of the legs they stand on (though rarely mention) will crumplelocustsloth
- Not that they'd all of a sudden endorse gay marriage, but they might not fight AS hardlocustsloth
- I don't think any gay people would want a wedding in a place that doesn't want them there. There are alternatives.monospaced
- you'd be surprisedlocustsloth
- you're probably rightmonospaced
