And leave heteros the hell alone?
Yeah, I know, they want to tear hetero marriages apart. But still, just get your own ministers, already.

Although same-sex marriage became legal on Oct. 9 in Nevada, some Las Vegas wedding chapels are refusing to perform the marriages..
Those places are, the American Civil Liberties Union says, breaking the law.
An ACLU official on Thursday criticized what he said are “a small number” of for-profit wedding chapel owners who are refusing to perform such ceremonies because of their religious beliefs.

It will be interesting to see if “They’ll take care of you at the chapel down the street” will work, or if the offended couple will insist on a lawsuit to make THOSE chapels carry out the service.
Ok, here we go.
Will wedding places be allowed to refuse to perform homosexual marriages due to religious belief?? Court cases will happen very soon on this issue.
I hate to think what sort of “protests” the spurned...”gay” “couples” might engage in.
Theres power in numbers or there used to be....
Hopefully the owners of the Wedding Chapels will prevail.
The last thing I would want as a prospective customer to a Wedding Chapel like these is to show up there with my honey and have to see the endings of a same sex marriage. I just would go someplace else. Business, and convictions. It’s called freedom.
The next big battle will be religious liberty versus freedom of worship. Obama says you have the freedom to worship on Sundays at your church of choice and that’s it. The founders believe that religious liberty is a 24/7 proposition regardless of where or when you worship.
All types of perverts have been demanding “tolerance” and the average decent people foolishly DID tolerate what should have been(and used to be) soundly condemned from the very beginning.I include those who want to pervert not only sex but government.
It’s really a variation of the Hobby Lobby case: can for-profit companies have religious beliefs?
This should be a no-brainer, except for the SCOTUS Hobby Lobby caveat that it shouldn’t be read as precedent ...
Law suit gets my vote. You know this can’t be allowed.
No back of the closet for these folks!
we gave em an inch..... and they took a mile!
Since they’ve taken that mile...there appears to be no stopping them
“due to religious belief”
Why not just freedom? If somebody just doesn’t wanted to provide another with a service, it is his right to do so. For any reason.Can’t imagine why religion has anything to do with it. Conservatives are falling into the trap that the only exemption from tyranny is religious beliefs. But when that becomes the only freedom, it too will soon be gone.
Of course, these are same courts that RIDICULED religious beliefs when they imposed gay marriage on America. Watch for fines/prison for the few remaining Christians within a couple years at most.

If churches can refuse to perform marriage ceremonies for previously-married people, then they should be able to refuse to perform ceremonies for homosexuals, or for any other category of persons.
How is it that homosexuals are more special than divorced heterosexuals?
Churches are exempt
If you want to get hitched see a judge
Good question to you and I. Nonsense to the government and their special classes of citizens.

They aren’t breaking the law.
They are breaking the declarations of unelected tyrants.
So good for them.
