Revoke the tax free status of any Church that refuses to admit or marry gay couples
Forget about the pizza places, we need to hit bigotry at the source.
The church is the source of most hatred and bigotry directed as gay and transgender people. We already revoke 501c3 status of Churches when leaders tell their parishioner who to vote for in elections so why can't the same policy apply to those who refuse to marry or even admit gay couples?

2. Can we force them to hold weddings for anyone who demands one?
For example, could a Baptist church be required to host a Muslim wedding?
When it comes to the private sector, that's one thing, but aren't the churches themselves a different story? Unless they're advertising themselves as a rental space for weddings, aren't they exclusionary by definition?

That rarely happens. It should happen, a lot, but it's rarely enforced.
Churches can always approve who they will marry, and that's fine.
Damn straight it doesn't happen enough. 90% of the black churches would lose their tax exempt status.

11. See. Thats exactly the RW talking point that gets em all up in arms.
They act like their churches are going to be FORCED to host same sex weddings. Fact of the matter is that will never, ever, EVER happen. That's why it pisses me off so bad that these religions are throwing their angry fits. Ideas like this just feed the fits. Bad idea.

12. Good grief.
I always knew I would see this post on here someday, but it still grates on me nonetheless.
No - you can't force churches to marry or admit anyone they don't want to. Take a Civics class. Read the First Amendment. Then read it again. Then read some commentaries and court decisions concerning the First Amendment. Repeat.
Just un-****ing-believable.
I don't know why so many DUmmies are against the idea. So many of them in the past have advocated that churches should pay taxes. Are that many of them anti-gay when it comes to churches v. Teh Gheys?

...Because as soon as you start that shit, you'd have to take on that Democrat stronghold and candidate venue, the Black churches.
I'd love to watch that show!

It wouldn't surprise me if during the creation of the US Constitution some poor soul quietly thought that maybe it needed to be included that marriage was between a man and a woman. Then he thought to himself, "What ever for? Every sane person knows that marriage is between a man and a woman. Any thoughts of viewing marriage as different than one man and one woman will never, ever, EVER happen!"

Haha. Dummies want to revoke the First Amendment. Unbelievable.

Not really. They've been trying to revoke the Second Amendment since Wilson.

Well the Second Amendment prevents them from revoking the First.

This sounds like the same kind of desperate lie moonbats were telling in the 1970s when trying to slip through the Equal Rights Amendment.
Or the kind of lie they manufacture when trying to pass "common sense" gun control.

I see a DU-lagomorph is less than well-informed about things gays have tried, through lawsuit, to force churches to do. (http://www.opc.org/nh.html?article_id=123) Of course, it may be that this DU-lagomorph wasn't born when this lawsuit was playing out.

Not necessarily. Obummer would just exempt blacks and rag heads. Only white Christian churches would be affected.

DU is infested with bunnies.

What about the mosques?
Yeah I thought so.

Well the Second Amendment prevents them from revoking the First.
Every time a DUmmy opens his cock holster about revoking some part of the Constitution, I buy a box of ammo.
Every time Emperor Putmos or his minions open their cock holsters about it, I buy another firearm.
Investing in steel and lead.

They are full of mosque itos.
That need to be swatted.

Numbers-Riverside is a real left-wing whacko, and probably dangerous, to boot.

9. I want to round up filth like this and place them in education camps
I wish we could round up fundie christians, climate change deniers, homophobes, transphobes, anti-vaxxers, right wing miltia groups and pieces of crap like this who think rape is a joke and place them in education camps with hard labor for years if need be until they change their ways.
These animals only stunt human progression and they need to be removed from society so they can't spread their hate and other bile to impressionable kids.

This is the true face of leftism. Make no mistake about it they are truly evil. These are the people that were NAZIs. No difference between them and the Brown Shirts.

Can you show proof that any right winger that thinks rape is a joke?
I associate anti-vaxxers with the left.

You will be shutting down every single Black church in the country!

Bill Clinton and any random Kennedy show what the left thinks about rape and its victims. The left cares about rape unless the allegation could harm another lefty.
You know, maybe that is why the left advises woman to piss their pants rather than brandish a firearm to deter a rape, to protect their own kind.

As has been pointed out already, this does NOT happen if they are told to vote for a demoNrat.
