If same sex marriage becomes the law of the land, it will be illegal for ANY church to refuse to perform the ceremony - regardless of religious belief. We got to this point because religious belief is now considered to be a second-class belief and we are expected to step deferentially to the back of the bus without getting uppity about it. It isn't enough to be free of prejudice if one is simultaneously enslaved by other passions. (Apologies to Neal A. Maxwell).

Nonsense. I'd suggest you do a bit of research before making unfounded and inaccurate claims of this sort.

You are being just plain silly. Churches decide who they want to marry and always have. They can discriminate based on religion, race, or eye color. There is no law forcing a church to marry interracial couples, atheistic couples, couples who come from a different faith tradition, or couples with brown eyes. Why do you think that orientation would be any different?
