During the national debate over homosexual marriage, we were repeatedly told by the liberals, that churches would NOT be sued over homosexual marriage. We were told that religious institutions would not be compelled to perform marriages which do not align with the definition of marriage within that denomination.

One state which legalized homosexual marriage, New York, made a big deal of how they had a major religious freedom clause in their marriage law, so that religious organizations would not have to perform other types of marriages.

So now this is where we are?? Now churches will be sued anyway, in spite of the liberals assurances that they were only seeking CIVIL marriage rights, as opposed to forcing others to perform homosexual marriage ceremonies??????

Remember the debate over "Don't ask, don't tell?" That too was a compromise to allow non-flaming homosexuals to hold jobs in the military. Conservatives warned at the time that this would lead to further abuse down the road. All our so-called "moderates" in congress went along with this, and just as the sun comes up in the morning, the next Democrat President went far further than the previous "compromise." ("Sell out" is closer to the truth.)

It’s about the homosexuals renting reception halls, not forcing churches to perform the wedding. That will come later.

Liars lie. Liberals will do and say anything to get their way. Never make a deal with the devil. You'll get burnt every time.
