I don't see any laws requiring churches to perform same sex marriages. The only people claiming this are anti-gay marriage proponents as a way to fear monger people away from support of same sex marriages. By all means, I have no issue about laws being passed to 'protect' these pastors (even though that protection was never going a way) but it's really just political fear mongering.
So what if two adults can now legally get married? Mind your own business, worry about your own life, your own sins, your own connect with God.
The gay couple has already forced photographers who didn't want to take their marriage shots to do it,
forced bakers who didn't want to bake their wedding cake to do it,

I am so tired on the endless debate on the subject. I wish the Supreme Court would overturn all marriage then it wouldn't be an issue.

I'm not a particularly religious man, but you basically summed up the words I've been grasping at -- so to you sir, I say AMEN.
They do in England.
if it's just political fear-mongering and this is nothing no one need ever worry about, then why the vapors over it?

But I would like to say, if it's just political fear-mongering and this is nothing no one need ever worry about, then why the vapors over it? It will be a law that will never come up.

The whole idea of bringing this issue up under equality and freedom is a oxymoron.
