re: #652 iceweasel

Because of what the first amendment says. Because of what already happens when churches and religions only perform marriages for those they want. Because of all the extensive commentary, here and elsewhere, by charles and others, on gay marriage.

Go research it and stop jumping out of your skin when some howler monkey on fox news shrieks that gay marriage means your priest or church will be ‘forced’ to perform gay weddings.(I don’t necessarily mean you in particular, but I’m so tired of this lie being spread around)

It. Is Not. Going to Happen.

Now, that is offensive. I don’t shriek or jump and I don’t even have a strong opinion on the subject. I am concerned, however, that institutions that object to gay marriage will be forcced to participate in some way. Read the links above already provided by other lizards.
