That’s not what the ruling said, and that’s not going to happen.
Divorce is allowed in all 50 states, but nobody has ever forced a Catholic Church to recognize one or remarry a divorced person.
It’s important to keep our eyes on the facts and not go too far afield.
We already have some races more equal than others.
Some religions are more equal than others, too.
Quote Leviticus on same-sex relations, go to jail in Sweden, get fined in Canada for printing bumper stickers and holding signs with the verse, get considered guilty of a hate crime in the US.
Preach death to homosexuals per the Koran, get a pass, though I don’t know to what degree that is due to Arabic and how much it is multiculturalism making Islam deemed better than Christianity.
Muslims get respect because they cut off people’s heads and blow people up. The Left admires nothing so much as the willingness to murder people. Really, it’s ALL the Left admires.
Priests will not be forced to go through the motions of “marrying” same-sex couples. But the Church will be forced out of all charitable work, hospitals, adoption, schooling at every level. Why do you think Obama and Hillary have been referring to “freedom of worship” for years now, rather than “freedom of religion”? They want to drive the churches completely “indoors,” restricted entirely to praying inside their buildings. (Buildings they will largely lose, because “hate groups” cannot be allowed tax exemptions.)
Christians shouldn’t have to threaten to resort to violence to get equal rights.
45 Communist Goals, written by the Communist Party in 1958, recorded in the Congressional Record January 10, 1963. The objectives of each are included in the following republishing of the goals:

And that is *precisely* why we need to learn from our mistakes with gay marriage.
We kept patting ourselves on the back, staying in our comfortable echo chamber, while the left stopped whining, got to work and took the country from us.
We need to be honest about why we lost the war, because there are still battles to be won. We can save religious exemptions and carve-outs, but only if we’re willing to learn from history. Because unfortunately, I see us making a lot of the same mistakes again, including the hysterical fears that everyone can see right through and which therefore hurt our cause.
