City in Idaho may arrest two ministers for not performing gay weddings
Response to comment [from a Christian]:
The ACLU even disagrees with you two.
Compelling the couple to "speak words in ceremonies that they think are immoral is an unconstitutional speech compulsion," Eugene Volokh, the Gary T. Schwartz Professor of Law at the UCLA School of Law, wrote in an op-ed piece on the case for The Washington Post.
"Given that the Free Speech Clause bars the government from requiring public school students to say the pledge of allegiance, or even from requiring drivers to display a slogan on their license plates, the government can't require ministers — or other private citizens — to speak the words in a ceremony, on pain of either having to close their business or face fines and jail time." http://www.christianpost.com/news/id...ddings-128325/
That locality is going to lose this one - its both a blatant disregard for freedom of religion and freedom of speech.
For now. But, our culture is going the way of godless
Europe and the UK. Re 13:17
Homosexuality is: forbidden (Lev. 18:22), considered an abomination (1 Kin.
