In his post he wrote that a church has the right to refuse to give a service to anyone. I agree with his point because I do not think that a church has to do something just because they were pressured into doing it. However, what they chose to do may make them less popular. I am all for gay marriage and I believe that they should have the same rights anyone else has in the country.
I think that it should be possible for a gay couple to become legally married, but if a religion is against homosexuality, they should be allowed to deny the couple a religious ceremony under their church. The couple is allowed to have a religious wedding ceremony; the church they use has to allow it though. I don’t see how this would be a problem though because I have a strong feeling that a homosexual couple wouldn’t want to be married by an anti gay church. Also even if they can’t be married by that church, they can choose another one. The reason that I think people don’t think that same sex marriage should be allowed is that it started out as a religious based process. They may feel that the government is interfering in there religion by allowing.Here, he makes some good points on why churches should be allowed to deny service to anyone. The one I agree with them most is where he says that he does not think that denial of a ceremony would be such a bad thing because a gay couple would not probably want to be married be an anti-gay church anyway. The problem with this is is that some churches take it too far. For example, the Westboro Baptist Church protests funerals of straight and gay people saying that they deserve it. I find this appalling and horrible. For someone to go out of their way to protest something that barely affects them at all is just stupid and wrong. In conclusion, I agree with Sam's point that a church should be able to deny a ceremony but they should not be able to actively take action against homosexuals.
