If Sames Sex Marriage becomes the law of the Land, in my opinion, the next step would be to require all churches to perform same sex marriages!

If the churches fail to perform same sex marriage, their tax exempt status would be revoked!

Were I a betting person, which I’m not, I would bet the gay agenda people will first try to challenge the authority to marry before they go after tax exempt status. The tax issue is mostly a federal matter whereas it is the states which grant the right to legally marry people. This means the churches couldn’t marry anyone and have it count as a state legal act and it would be like many foreign countries where couples must marry before civil authorities before their religious ceremony.
