This will happen in the U.S. and here’s how:

LOVING VS. VIRGINIA. State can’t prohibit interracial marriage.

That was followed by: Church’s can’t get tax exempt status if they refuse to perform legally sanctioned marriages.

So...

ANY church not performing ‘gay marriages’ will be denied tax exempt status.

“The power to tax is the power to destroy” and that’ll put gay marriages in every church in America.

I work for a Priest, and what he says will probably happen is the Priests will refuse to perform marriages. Couples will have to have a civil ceremony and then Priests will bless the marriage. Clearly they won’t bless a “gay” marriage. He also stated he is more than willing to turn in his license to perform marriages, if it comes to that.

But I believe somehow the mosques will remain exempt.

This story is about the Danish “established” church. It does not apply to Mosques, Synagogues, Roman Catholic churches, other Protestant churches, etc.
