I am willing to bet all the tea in China that the SC will tailor the decision to state that churches will not be forced to marry any gay couple against their wishes. States that have passed marriage equality have already put those protections in place for churches. Massachusetts has been allowing gays to marry for over decade and I am not aware of single church that has been sued to force them to marry a gay couple. Can you name one?
Then they'd also have to re-tailor the 14th Amendment to say that any church may deny any race they like marriage within their halls. Pretty sure that wouldn't be such a done-deal. Unless you're saying sexual behaviors aren't equivalent to race? In that case, I agree with you...
There wouldn't be any need to make alterations to the 14th Amendment concerning interracial marriages. Churches already reserve the right to not marry any couple against their wishes. I can't a name single church that has been forced marry an interracial couple. And I bet you can't either.
When we had this same exact conversation a little over a week ago I agreed with you. Sexual behaviors, of any kind, are not equivalent to race.
