Jobs, housing and education rights, and a complete ban on “conversion” therapy are among the next agenda items for gay-rights groups and their allies.
There will also be a strong push-back against churches and lawmakers who want to use religious liberty as a way to escape the new laws on gay marriage, a church-state watchdog organization promised Tuesday.
“Some people want to convert the crucial principle of religious freedom into a license to discriminate against others and deny Americans essential services,” the Rev. Barry W. Lynn, executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, said at a press conference Tuesday.

If there was ever any doubt, before, there shouldn't be now: Barry Lynn is not a Christian, and he never has been. Lynn is nothing more than an instrument of Satan, and if he doesn't wake up, he is going to join Satan in hell.

These fascist scumbags barely had time to take in their victory at the Supreme Court, already fixing bayonets for a new charge against the Christian holdouts.

I’ve noticed that every single group that’s got to where they are by whinning and playing the victim, are perennial malcontents.
They are never happy, never satisfied, and giving in to them only emboldens them to strive for - MORE.
Every group.
There is not substitute for earning your stripes.

Give them a Bible and tell them they are sinners just as the rest of us and they should repent.
Then be ready for the IRS visits.

a way to escape the new laws on gay marriage Court opinions are not laws.
Courts have no legitimate law-making powers.
And court opinions or laws that violate the laws of nature or the Constitution are all null and void anyway.

Fight back on marriage. Don’t fall back to a defensive posture on religious liberty.
Destroy them politically on marriage and religious liberty will take care of itself.

Does that mean that none of the sodomites will want to be married in a church?

Then be ready for the IRS visits. If the IRS is acting according to the law then God bless them for what they do. If not then there's a government form that has instructions on what to do:

All that said, some "churches" have been moving to the dark side for decades.
“WHOM GOD WOULD DESTROY, HE FIRST MAKES MAD” Looks like He's worked His way down to the “churches” on His list!
