Comments about ‘News analysis: Supreme Court leaves itself some 'wiggle room' for gay marriage cases’

It sounds all so harmless. But the legal ramifications are real.

Just one example. Legitimizing gay marriage, along with the erosion of religious freedoms, could result in a church being forced to hire gay people and pay for the “spouses” benefits, whose behaviors are in direct opposition to the church's teachings. This would deal a serious blow to such a religious organization in its freedom to control its own practices and morals.

Example two. Insurance companies owned by religious organizations being forced to pay for "care" (i.e. birth control) that is 180 degrees opposite of the parent organization's religious convicitions. That's a real-life current legal argument.

In addition, I believe the GLBT community is quite aware of the ultimate results if all their efforts go through. Personally, I don’t think those who oppose religion will be happy till religion is just a memory. That won't happen for everyone, but I DO see freedom of religion and religious speech being much different 25 years from now if we do not protect it now. I’m not as convinced the end of the world is so far off.

Why should an inside visual be forced to choose between having a job and their individual rights? Please show me where our constitution allows corporations or even religions to moose such restrictions.
