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.
Church is supposed to be where the Gospel of Christ is taught. The Gospel is implicit in what God has said concerning acts against Natural Law and Him. Christians will never accept your acts against nature and God as normal. Not ever. Once you succeed in driving Christians underground sooner than later there will be hell to pay and you'll be holding the catchers mitt. Disgusting frickin' perverts.
Oh, you mean that stuff all full of love and tolerance? You could of fooled me.
Tolerance is evil. You don't tolerate evil. You destroy it. Mikey you are a fullfillment of Bible prophecy. You call good evil and evil good. Mike it is people like you that are the problem in this country. And you will vote for Obama. You worship it.
Thstmis the way Hitler felt about people he hated, gays being one of the groups as well as Jews. He was just as wrong as you are here. And so what is your plan 'my little wannabe Fuhrer,' kill gays and lesbians every time there is one through the rest of history? There have been homosexuals as long as the species has existed, and this will always be the case. Or do you grow up and realize that you are sane and realistic and learn to accept people the way they are? Your final solution for homosexuality is very Nazi of you.

Hitlers regime and rank and file were filled with sodomites and rumors of him having been one as well. The fact that sodomites turned on each other if they weren't hailing the fuher doesn't surprise me in the least!
