Did someone from one of those "pro-family" groups tell you that this might change? It's sad that people calling themselves Christians would stoop to this sort of fearmongering.
Well Deuce, it's fearmongering but it's also truthtelling. Is fearmongering bad? I guess we'd better tell the global warming alarmists to stop fearmongering, then.
And what if a pro-family group gave the information?
BTW, I'm not religious. I'm about fairness.
Deuce, how much of the info from you posts comes from SSM advocates' talking points?
I think for myself. I came up with this by myself. It's just common sense.
I thought I'd copy and paste a portion of a post I made in another thread:
You say nothing like the IRS scandal has happened before in the US?
Wrong. It's already happened.
In 2012, two women filed a law suit in New Jersey court because a Methodist Church prevented their SS civil union ceremony from being performed in a pavilion owned by said NJ Methodist Church. The pavilion had been rented out only for marriages because
it's a religious structure of that NJ Methodist Church, and SS civil unions are not recognized according to the United Methodist Church Book of Disipline.
Due to the NJ Methodist Church's refusal to rent the pavilion for SS union, New Jersey punished the NJ Methodist Church, and revoked its tax free status in NJ.
Here's an example from Boston, Massachusetts in 2006. Boston Catholic Services ran an adoption agency placing children with families. The Catholic Church announced, rather than submitting to Massachusetts' law requiring the agency place children with SSM couples, that Boston Catholic Services would be closed down because a current 2003 Vatican document described SSM adoptions as gravely 'immoral'.
Here's a secular example:
The Des Moines, Iowa Human Rights Commission found the local
YMCA in violation of public accomodation laws because it refused to allow 'family membership' privileges to a SS FEMALE couple that received a civil union in Vermont. The city of Des Moines, Iowa forced the
YMCA to recognize gay and lesbian unions as 'families' for membership purposes, or lose $100,000 in gov't support.
Soon afterward, the Des Moines, Iowa
YMCA closed its doors.
Why are there no
YMCA services in Des Moines, Iowa?
For sure, we know the organization refused to allow SS FEMALE couples 'family privileges' in the
YMCA, and the local gov't punished the
YMCA.
BTW, there was a YWCA in Des Moines, Iowa at the time of the lawsuit.
