This is exactly why some religions are against gay marriage. They knew it wouldn’t be long before they were forced to sanctify them. The Libs keep proving us right, and unfortunately, no one cares.
“This is exactly why some religions are against gay marriage. They knew it wouldn’t be long before they were forced to sanctify them.”
You’re right on the money there. My husband was having an argument about gay marriage with a friend of his who was gay and the minute he brought up the issue of “what if certain churches won’t marry a gay couple” his friend shut right up—it was apparent he knew this would be the next step after gay marriage was made legal.
I had my own experience with this last year. I perform wedding ceremonies for relatives and friends, and last year did a wedding for a co-worker’s son.
After the wedding, a bunch of the groom’s family members came up to tell me how much they liked the ceremony I’d written and delivered, and the groom’s step-brother, who is gay and in a long-term relationship, asked me how often I do weddings.
I couldn’t help but feel like he was wondering if I would officiate at a ceremony for him. It’s something I would adamantly refuse to do, and it caused me quite a bit of worry (both on the legal front—I don’t think he’d sue me for refusing, although that’s always a concern—and from a “you’re such a bad person; you must be a homophobe” angle).
That's because many of the Libertarian mindset despise religion and those who embrace it. They don't care if Christians are oppressed and churches overrun.
