Actually, churches could be compelled to do gay weddings, or loose their tax exempt status. The result could be that churches will be out of the wedding business, and just provide for “wedding celebrations”, where the couple will get their licenses thru a civil process, and only exchange vows in church as part of a “celebration”, where the pastor / priest/rabbi does not sign the license.

For those states that outlaw “sham weddings”, such a “celebration” here would not be one any more than re-stating ones vows, which is commonly done.

And before you flame, I’m not saying I like or approve of this “evolution” of church weddings.

Giving up the tax-exempt status will be the next move against churches. This will be driven by the homosexual crowd plus the local government who wants the tax money.

Hillary has said as much, as far as people having to “rethink” their religious beliefs.
