Not to derail your thoughts, but that is what I was was attempting to say a few days ago in my disagreement with CL regarding lawsuits. It is a progression. Steps had to be taken. Homosexuals granted the right to marry in MA and CA could not simply jump in to court and demand their right to be married in the church of their choosing. They have to take the necessary steps to get to a point where they can win.
That does not mean that I think they should or should not win in court. It means that I think they have to take their time. What is that saying? "Rome wasn't built in a day"?

So, how is that "progression" of interracial and interfaith couples jumping into court to demand their right to be married in the church of their choosing doing?
I honestly don't know. I am not following the issues.
Well, if interracial couples and interfaith couples were ABLE to legally force churches who reject them into marrying, there would be case history. There is not. And you know that too...but feel free to play the "ignorance game."
I get the impression that you think I am wrong,
Very astute of you.
but the funny thing is that I am agreeing with you. What my statement means is that the gay community knows that it will not win in court under today's environment. They are smart enough to know that this is going to take time.
Just because interracial and interfaith couples may not have won complete acceptance today does not mean that the gay community should just give up? Maybe I'm confused about what you are trying to say here.

That churches HAVE THE RIGHT to reject ANYONE they do not wish to marry. Period. End of Subject. Why some people want to pretend that gays can suddenly change that when interracial couples, interfaith couples, and other faith couples have NEVER succeeded in doing that....well, fear mongering does work for the feeble minded, I hear.
