To win approval of his gay marriage bill in New York State, Governor Andrew Cuomo offered legal “protection” for religious groups that reject same sex unions. Four misguided Republican Senators broke with their party to back the legislation because of provisions permitting churches to deny their facilities for same sex ceremonies. But why is it acceptable to change the status of people of faith- a clear majority of the American public –to the position of some irrelevant minority? Homosexuals, a tiny minority of less than 3%, have imposed on society and government the radical notion that gender doesn’t matter—that a man choosing to marry a man is no different from a man marrying a woman. Meanwhile, the traditional understanding of marriage has been officially rejected by government, and will be tolerated only as a matter of religious dissent.
In other words, why should an “exception” or protection have to be made so that Traditional Bible believing churches will not be sued into oblivion if they will not perform same sex marriages? Shouldn’t this be a given? If a same-sex couple wants to get married at a Justice of the Peace or a church that condones gay marriage then fine, have at it. But if a traditional church will NOT perform a same sex for biblical and moral reasons they should never be compelled to perform the ceremonies period end of story. WHY do exceptions need to be made? 
To my understanding Gay Marriage may become the law of all 50 states very soon. If that happens, I guess I can do nothing about it since it seems to be imposed on the people by the courts and the state legislatures. And I will deal with it.
But, if a bible believing church in my area is ever forced/compelled/cajoled to perform a same sex marriage or risk a lawsuit and/or closure, my ass if out with a picket sign the day the same sex couple is getting married.
Count on that.
