Ping!
The only acceptable option is for about half of the organizations that provide accommodations, facilities, advantages, privileges, services, or goods related to the solemnization or celebration of a marriage to go out of business. Decent people in Washington State who want to get married may have a choice between crossing state lines and going to a facility that supports sham marriage. I would cross state lines rather than solemnize a marriage in a church that had been voluntarily desecrated.
At least they admit they are “redfining” marriage. Marriage is not a state institution to “redefine”. Christians need to re-define their word. They are going to win the word marriage so maybe Christians can come up with a better word than just a state instituted marriage.
I cannot find out if there are any penalties for the violation of this “law”. Any help on this point?
and with the stroke of a pen, six thousands years of history around the meaning of marriage dies with another attack on being Christians and Christian values.
The left does error “not knowing the scriptures”.
Woe unto them that call evil good and good evil.....
The proper religious answer is “Hell no.”
They think they can sue the churches?
People need to simply ignore this power grab. Then fight when called on it.
EFF these people...my church is NOT licensed or approved by the state and does not exist with the state’s permission.
The Thomas More Society is going to be very busy this coming year.
Whether you believe in God and His creation, or if you believe in Darwin and science, both created man and woman the same way.
I hope this perverted bill goes back to hell where it belongs, but if you read the text of the law at the link, Section 7 actually says that religious organization DON’T have to provide accomodations, not that they do, unless they are selling them. It does use the phrase accommodations, facilities, advantages, privileges, services, or goods related to the solemnization or celebration of a marriage, but to say the opposite of what the article says, unless I’m missing something.

doesn’t apply to churches proper, apparently...but don’t have a moral objection,...you are screwed.
Good thing Social Issues will not be a big issue this election year...~rolls eyes~
Im proud our same-sex couples will no longer be treated as separate but equal, she said.

Sucks that our Constitution is still in place, including the Establishment Clause, doesn't it, bitch?

A decent judge would vacate this law in its entirety as a violation of the First, Third, Fourth, Fifth and Tenth Amendments.
Prime example of why civil unions (defined here as “everything but marriage”) aren’t good enough for the homosexual activists. After they got civil unions, they immediately went to a “separate but equal” argument as to why even civil unions aren’t enough.
It strikes me that the preference shown for the made-up claims of “gay rights” over the traditional rights of religious institutions is a far more serious threat to our religious liberties than the contraceptive mandate. I wish the Catholic bishops had chosen this hill to die on.
Now what?

Making it crystal clear that one of the main aims of the "gay" agenda is to destroy Natural Law, religion, the natural family, and the very fabric of society.
