Churches will be required to do same-sex weddings, as will clergy.
One way or another, that's where it's going.
Questions For Indiana’s Critics
When they told you "Of course that will never happen" they were lying.
On the other hand, the conservatives are lying now when they claim it's not about the liberty to discriminate.
That is the issue when Christians refuse to participate in any way with gay marriages.
And that is also the issue when Christian motel owners refuse to rent rooms to un-married heterosexual couples or to persons of the same sex they suspect of being homosexual couples.
Liberals rightly point out that many people in the past and perhaps some even now wish to discriminate in similar ways against couples of mixed race, citing religious reasons.
Of course, they also denounce such people as abusing religion to hide bigotry, eerily echoing Obama's liberal propaganda that Islamic terrorists are hijacking, abusing, or lying that their activities have a religious sanction.
But the basic point is right.
What's at stake here is the freedom to discriminate, supported by an alleged right to do so for religious reasons and opposed by an alleged right not to be discriminated against.
Guess which moral allegation cuts ice, today?
