A city council is weighing a proposed ordinance that would force churches in the Kansas town to rent their facilities for gay weddings. Poster Comment: Forced to allow Massachusetts Marxist marriages at your church?
This kind of thing nationwide is inevitable. Folks who are for gay marriage see it as a civil rights issue. And may see the Catholic Church and conservative Christian organizations as the enemy. Do you really think they'd fight for civil rights and then agree that the institutions they hate don't have to acknowledge those civil rights? Of course not. Like I said, this kind of law is inevitable everywhere.
Todd Starnes of Fox News reports:The Hutchinson City Council will consider adding sexual orientation and gender identity to the protected classes in the city’s human relations code. They are expected to vote on the changes next month.
Hey, if religious institutions can be forced to cover abortifacients and sterilization procedures, what's the problem with forcing churches to rent their halls to folks celebrating a gay marriage. Come on, what's a little drag party between friends?
According to the Hutchinson Human Relations Commission, churches that rent out their buildings to the general public would not be allowed to discriminate “against a gay couple who want to rent the building for a party.”
Meryl Dye, a spokesperson for the Human Relations Commission confirmed to Fox News that churches would be subjected to portions of the proposed law.
“They would not be able to discriminate against gay and lesbian or transgender individuals,” Dye said. “That type of protection parallels to what you find in race discrimination. If a church provides lodging or rents a facility they could not discriminate based on race. It’s along that kind of thinking.”
Matthew Staver, chairman of the Liberty Counsel Action, told Fox News the proposed law is “un-American.”
“It is a collision course between religious freedom and the LGBT agenda,” Staver said. “This proposed legislation will ultimately override the religious freedom that is protected under the First Amendment.”
He argued that churches cannot be forced by the government to set aside their religious convictions and their mission. And, he warned, some churches could even be forced to rent their buildings for drag parties.
I'd suggest that churches start decorating their halls in very drab colors to avoid interest from gay marriage celebrations. And maybe put up lots of sports memorabilia. Wait, the lesbians might like that. How about a wall of inspirational posters with pictures of sunsets and lakes and stuff with quotes from Maggie Gallagher saying things like, "Europe, which gave us the idea of same-sex marriage, is a dying society, with birthrates 50 percent below replacement."

If the facilities ae open for rental by the general public, they have no business discriminating against some people who want to use them because they are getting married. The answer is very simple, and the churches should be brought to task for their bigotry.
should be brought to task for their bigotry. It's private property, they can exclude whomever they like for any reason, or no reason. Go to a gay church, and get your marriage certificate from a gay printer. It's not illegal to be a gay bigot, or a straight one either.
If they open the venue to the public as available to be rented for weddings, they deserve the flack if they discriminate against people for getting married. Whatever the outcome, it is perfectly appropriate to take these people to task for their problems with their ability to live with and tolerate others. I hope they lose the legal battle, but even if they don't, the controversy won't end, and this will be merely one of many places this battle is fought before this war against bigotry and intolerance is won. I was married to a woman, and if I get married again, it will also be to a female.
Until normal good people get tired of freaks like you and exterminate you.
"Until normal good people get tired of freaks like you and exterminate you. If you think for one moment that any so-called legal battle will change a persons mind over this abomination mike, think again, and you (if you actually do have the guts to fight, which I seriously doubt), and all these other desease ridden vermon, had better be armed with more than just your purses to throw at them, because blood will be spilled. Where their abominal desease came from, and who carries and spreads it!
Careful, much of the diseases that wiped out many Native Americans because they didn't have European resistance to diseases that abounded in European culture due to lack of hygiene in European cities and culture by your own logic were caused by unclean devils that spread their poison to innocents in the Western hemisphere. Your inference we of European ancestry are disease ridden vermin is unrealistic and uncalled for.
