Yes, they are unfounded because we haven't seen any such cases come up, despite seeing almost every year at least one either black couple or mixed race couple in the news for being refused a wedding ceremony by their church or a church. And there are probably hundreds, if not thousands of couples that are denied a marriage ceremony officiated by the person of their church/choice that go unheard of except for possibly locally for all sorts of reasons, including previous marriages, lack of premarital counseling, officiant doesn't approve of age difference or even just ages of people going to marry, religious differences (interfaiths marriages are actually a big cause for denial), and many others. Same sex marriage has been legal in some states of our country for about a decade, and yet no lawsuits that you have this "fear" of. 10 years and I have yet to notice a news story that even talks about a same sex couple being denied a ceremony by their first choice of officiant even without mention of any sort of lawsuit.
we will..we will..... already the fight in going on in Europe.
however i notice you only dealt with the church as a denial, and not people or business...because you know i am right, but will not admit to it....you know force it always there and someone is always waiting to use it.
Frequently Asked Questions about Minnesota's New Same-Sex Marriage Law
On May 14, 2013 Governor Mark Dayton signed into law a bill legalizing same-sex marriages in Minnesota. The Minnesota Department of
Human Rights answers your questions regarding the rights of couples wishing to get married when the new law goes into effect on August 1, 2013.
Are religious organizations required to marry individuals of the same-sex?
No. The legislature sought to ensure this new legislation would not unconstitutionally infringe upon the rights of religious entities. Therefore, religious entities can, consistent with their theological doctrine, policy and teachings, perform same-sex marriages. However, the new law does not compel legal religious entities to perform same-sex marriages.
Are other organizations exempt from the law?
No. The law
does not exempt individuals, businesses, nonprofits, or the secular business activities of religious entities from non-discrimination laws based on religious beliefs regarding same-sex marriage. Therefore, a business that provides wedding services such as cake decorating, wedding planning or catering services may not deny services to a same-sex couple who is planning a wedding based on their sexual orientation. To do so would violate protections for sexual orientation laid out in the Minnesota Human Rights Act. The individuals denied services could file a claim with the Minnesota Department of Human Rights against the entity that discriminated against them.
