If they want the right to keep their bronze-age prejudices, then let them pay taxes like everyone else...why should Gay religious folk be denied church weddings if they want them? Why, while they are forced to pay the taxes the church is excused from paying....and why, exactly, are churches tax-exempt? Supposedly because they serve the "public interest"...well, the certainly don't serve ALL the public's interests.
