There is another important aspect to this issue that church and temple goers should begin to bring up with their clergy and congregations.

Will churches be forced to perform marriage ceremonies for same sex couples even if that is diametrically opposed to the teachings of that particular religion? Will the gays sue under equal protection, discrimination? Will churches lose their tax exempt status? Of course, that is the ultimate goal, right?
