One potential way around this is for churches to not do any “legal” weddings in the church. The the homosexual lobby will not have a suit in court.

Given that the state has usurped a religious sacrament this is, I think a logical position.

No wedding in the church of any kind.

No weddings by a minister of the church if there is a “legal” Wedding license.

The only location where these type services would be performed are public ones available to everyone (hotel Ballrooms and such)or private homes.

I am of the opinion that at this point no Christian or Jewish or even Muslim couple should be legally wed by the state. It is no longer illegal to live together in the eyes of the state without being “officially” married so why pay the cost of a marriage license. Have a ceremony that is valid in the eyes of God but not the state. You no longer have to show you are married to receive EIC/Wick/other government payments. So let State sponsored marriage die a slow agonizing death.

Notice I am advocating this not because I want to destroy marriage but because I want to save it. This would not even be an issue if the State had stayed out of the wedding business in the first place.

Let the State have it’s legal weddings.

I refuse to give in, especially because I am not married yet. So I will not give into the homosexuals out of some trick like what you propose. They may force the state to accept their behavior (and I do not), but they cannot destroy true marriage-and we should not surrender!

Everyone can already do that, Christians, Muslims, cults, gays, atheists, and many do, the only people who get married legally are the ones that want to, or who can, for instance a Muslim cannot legally marry 4 women.

Most people want their marriage to be legal, for public recognition and for instance, a Navy SEAL who wants his family safe on base, and to receive widow benefits upon his death.

These kind of responses don't accomplish anything, nor change anything, nor preserve anything.
