Why would anyone want to be married by someone who did not want to marry them?
I can understand expecting the city clerk to do a civil wedding without a peep of personal opinion, but if you’re choosing anyone else, wouldn’t you want someone who gets all warm and fuzzy about it?
RE: Why would anyone want to be married by someone who did not want to marry them?
In order to prove a point.
This is not about them wanting to getting married. This is about FORCING the issue — using the power of government to COERCE acceptance. It has always been like that since the Colorado baker was forced to bake a cake for a gay wedding.
To force an agenda upon a society that doesn't accept the agenda.
Gay/Nazidom is here
We are gathered here today to join together two depraved and godless fudge packers.....
The 2 percenters “must” force YOU to accept, promote, and endorse, their behavior, in order to RECRUIT YOUR KIDS!!
Over 80% of homosexuals were sexually abused as children.
THAT is how they recruit.
I don’t understand why mutual respect and civility cannot prevail in these situations. Nevermind the moral argument for a moment.
Homo couple: “can you perform a homo wedding for us?”
Christian Minister:”I understand your desire to seal your union however my religion dictates I cannot be apart of it. I wish you no ill will and a happy life”.
Homo couple: “I understand your position as it is not a view held by a small fringe of society and respect your decision not to participate. I appreciate the well wishes.”
The Christian doesn’t compromise his beliefs.
The homo couple doesn’t become a law bully.
Other businesses get the opportunity to to make money from the homo union.
More importantly it keeps judges from making decisions that become permanent irrespective of the ballot box.
I realize this will never happened because in the scenario above there is no group to exploit for political gain or something to scare peoples money out of their pocket.
The odd thing is that no one seems to understand (well, at least the gays don’t), the maxims of law.
“An act done against my will is not my act”...
this is a fundamental part of law since at least the Magna Carta...
Indeed. That may be why no same-sex couple has actually requested a wedding at the chapel in question. The chapel seems to be jumping the gun.
