Proposed Law Would Force Churches to Host Gay Weddings

I have a feeling at the end of this one group will say, "yeah, you were right I was wrong."

That's the way these things always are.

I guess maybe part of the reason people might be hypocritical is because they don't realize their acting hypocritical

I have a great article on that ties this whole thread together later (when I'm not on my phone)

No circular logic. You were the ones that were talking about how awful the legislation in the original article was

You've now agreed it is acceptable. I consider my point proven

No I was talking about the church... not public places.

Pretty good article. References many of the things we've discussed.

When states have laws that prohibit anti-gay discrimination in spaces open to the public, they generally exempt “actual places of worship, the organizations they operate, and certain private organizations,” according to this 2012 law review article. So it’s true that in 2007, New Jersey denied a tax exemption to a boardwalk pavilion in Ocean Grove owned by a Methodist group after two lesbian couples were rejected when they asked to hold civil union ceremonies there. But this was a beachfront property, not a church—and 99 percent of the group’s land, taken as a whole, retained its tax exemption.
