If gay marriage is found constitutional that how can any pastor of any church refuse to marry gays or hold gay marriages in their churches?

Divorce and remarriage is permitted by law but the Catholic Church is not obligated to perform marriage ceremonies for divorced people.

Protestants are permitted to get married but the Catholic Church is not required to perform weddings for Protestants.

Just because same sex couples are permitted to marry does not mean that the Catholic Church (or any other church) will be required to perform gay marriages.

It will be compared to racism, it is already being compared to that.

The government forcing universities and hospitals affiliated with the Catholic church to pay for contraceptives, abortion, and eventually euthanasia, is setting the precedent that no institution can “opt out” of this type of legislation issued by the totalitarian state.

Religion has long been an obstacle to the State implementing their religion of atheistic human secularism. They have been gunning for Christianity for decades. This and healthcare will help to reduce Christian institutions to nothing more than fraternal organizations.
