Homosexual marriage will cause schisms in other religious denominations as well.

By this time next month, we may well have seen the U.S. Supreme Court impose homosexual marriage nationwide.

If that happens, the goal posts will then have been moved.

The vast majority of mainstream religious institutions do not allow for homosexual marriage, or homosexual commitment ceremonies, or recognize homosexuality in a positive way. On the other hand, many religions regard homosexaulity as sinful or worse.

The next battle over homosexual marriage could happen within churches. Some more liberal churches may want to recognize same sex marriage, and break away from denominations which don’t allow it. Other denominations may decide to allow it, but see some more conservative member churches split with them over the issue.

And, in the background, there’s always the possibility that the gay activists, who brought us to the point we are at now, with the numerous lawsuits over marriage, will start suing churches which don’t perform homosexual marriage.

If the Supreme Court imposes homosexual marriage on the entire country ,this will not be the end of the debate over homosexual marriage. Instead, it will just have moved the goal posts on the issue.

Well put.

As I predicted some 10+ years ago here on FR (and others did as well, it wasn't just me.......) "gay rights" has always been an umbrella for attacking the church in America.

When I say "church" I mean any church/denomination that professes Jesus Christ as our Savior.

To your statement above, there is already a complaint against a church by a "gay couple" claiming they have a "right" to a church sanctioned wedding. (You can find that here.

Here's another one by a millionaire gay couple directly suing a church in the U.K. to force them to perform a gay wedding.

Then there's this one where a city threatens to sue a minister who refuses to perform a gay wedding.

There are more instances of the above, a quick google search for "gay couple sues church to perform wedding" will show you the list.
