I would think not. Churches are private entities with voluntary membership and as such would be free to conduct their business as would any private club. I'm sure some churches would perform them voluntarily but I can't see how any could be forced legally to do so.

The issue is whether gays are entitled to be married in a manner that is officially and legally recognized. I fully understand that religious people see marriage as a spiritual thing sanctioned by God and consider the exchange of vows standing in front a preacher as the moment you are married. I do respect that. But from a purely technical and legal standpoint you are married when you and your wife sign that marriage license. I can see how a church can legally deny them the ceremony. I can't see how as a society we can legally deny them the license.


What about those PRIVATE businesses being sued for refusing service on THEIR moral grounds? As a private business can one not deny service?

Once again we see legislation trying to force someone to go against their religion.

The Leftist Elite have a deeper underlying reason to push this through, they could actually care less about those they claim to try to be helping.
