Disagree with this approach as it can still be prone to lawsuits.
The approach that we discussed earlier this year is that all wedding services come through a Church approved wedding planner or other person that a Church recommends.
No wedding services are to be sold directly to the public; everything via a Church.
The next battle will be discrimination of homosexuals inside a Church. That will prompt another retreat and possibly going underground.

You want to give the church a share of the profits for simply being a church. The food services, the dress designers, the entertainers, the florists, the housekeepers all would have to apply to the church for a position. Sorry but that sounds like socialism to me.
The GLBT will probably target church or church-related organizations. A church could be sued for violating local laws barring gay employment discrimination or the federal tax exemption (which also bars discrimination).
One might argue for religious freedom for the pastor but not for jobs in the church that don’t directly involve preaching or counseling. Some big hairy guy will walk in with pink hair, hoop earrings, high heels and fishnet stockings and demand a job as a janitor.
