That’s my understanding also. The location in question was not a church sanctuary, it was a public place used for a variety of purposes ovr the years.

Not all churches worship inside a sanctuary, and even some of the ones that do hold other land around the sanctuary for other purposes. My old church had several school buildings, a prayer house, and a temporary housing complex all on their property. Only one building was a sanctuary, the rest are routinely used for public events (and even the sanctuary is used for profit events from time to time). By the precedent set here, they'd have to allow gay couples to wed on their property or lose their property's tax exempt status, and maybe one day more than that.
