Please point out where any church has been forced to perform any marriage it did not want to perform.

>>I wouldn't call the Mormans rabid dogs since they support civil unions and full gay rights in all areas other than marriage.

>>Well, seeing as how these groups have sued and damaged churches who oppose being forced to perform ceremonies it's not all that difficult to understand why they are doing it.<<


Feel perfectly free to indicate where anyone attempted to force ANY church to perform a gay wedding ceremony.


The link you provided was to a bit of private property, for which the church was tax exempt but wishes to rent out to the public....fine and dandy right up to the point where the church violated the anti-discimination laws of the state.

Thanks for confirming that your previous posts on the subject were utterly wrong.


Prop 8 removed an existing legal civil right and substantially rewrote the CA constitution to inculcate bias against a legally protected class of people.

so long as these do not infringe on the integrity of the traditional family or the constitutional rights of churches"


What the heck is the "integrity of the traditional family"?
