No person shall be required to attend or support any ministry or place of worship, religious sect or denomination, or pay tithes against his consent; nor shall any preference be given by law to any religious denomination or mode of worship.

Perhaps Christians ought to invade homosexual establishments en masse and demand service.....if we outnumber them more than 4 to 1, it won’t be long until they feel the pressure.
Be sure your service is impeccable. Or you might be suffering from discrimination.
At my Church, and I think at most Churches the pastor will only marry a couple if they go through the required marriage classes and attest to their faith in Christ and the doctrines of the Church.
Someday God will just burn them up and nobody will even remember them.
I don’t take orders.I’m free.
“Who am I to judge?”
Becomes,
If you judge you go to jail.
“On Friday, the Knapps respectfully declined such a ceremony and now face up to 180 days in jail and up to $1,000 in fines for each day they decline to perform that ceremony.”

Homosexuals are not happy to merely be married, they must FORCE everyone to celebrate their perversion of marriage.
They might actually save a lot of people years of regret that way.
The “Hitchen Post” BUSINESS will likely close.
Then the pastors can resume marrying natural couples in their church.
Where are these radical gays who will demand a Muslim contract of marriage?? Waiting for an answer . . . .
If I were in a situation such as the Knapps find themselves, I would build my message for the “ceremony” around select passages from the Letter to the Romans.
I would make a terrible mockery of their “wedding.” The gaystopo would be sorry they forced a Christian to get involved. They can not dictate my words and Bible quotes and sermon, even if they manage to force their way into my ministry. It would be a mess.
I myself am surprised it happened as soon as it did.
Time to do like Christians used to do.
If a priest-preacher was not available, you make a public announcement of taking a woman for your bride. Then you live together and have children. If a preacher-priest comes along you have the marriage vows done then and the info is added to the church records or family bible.
It worked well for years till the government started getting involved in it.
Easy solution to this. Churches reclaim the term Holy Matrimony. Don’t require a license, if folks want it legal, they go get a civil marriage contract at the courthouse. Tell the gays we DO NOT perform marriage ceremonies, we perform Holy Matrimony, and you do not meet the qualifications, we are so sorry.
Get a email list of Christians who will attend these “marriages.” In the service, read every relevant passage in the Bible, Canto, etc. After the two-hour reading, ask if anyone objects to this marriage.
After an hour of Christians objecting by citing scripture, the minister should tell the two what they need to do to be in compliance in Christian doctrine.Thank them for choosing their church and return soon when they compliant.
Oh, and get the money for the service upfront.
