Lol. You guys are cute.
Since Obamacare, the government began forcing private businesses to do business with customers, against their will.
Since Obamacare? Or since the 1960s? Pretty sure the whole "you can't discriminate on the basis of race [at least] in certain privately owned businesses" has been going on for a while. Any instances of churches required to do more than check a box on a form (re: contraception)?
you haven't been paying the least bit attention to social justice warriors & how they have operated subverting this country's culture for the last 40 years if you think it is impossible to imagine a couple of gay guys trying to force a Catholic or Mormon or Baptist church into holding a marriage ceremony for them.
SJW =/= SCOTUS, or Congress, or Constitutional Convention. So, no, I have been paying attention, I just don't care because it doesn't matter to this issue. No wonder it's easy to rile people up about stuff.
Has a church been forced to marry anyone against the church's will? Realistically threatened to by someone with some cloak of authority to do so? Are social justice warriors even attempting this?
What's the basis? The First Amendment is no joke, guys, and free exercise of religion is almost always upheld. On your side, you have that case against, what was it, Liberty University or some such about letting blacks attend (or interracial dating or whatever, been a while). And maybe that case that said some Native Americans couldn't smoke peyote or whatever for religious reasons. On my side, I have the whole, you know, First Amendment and strong jurisprudence protecting religious institutions. And all of US history. And all the legal arguments. It would take quite a leap to get from that single case to forcing a church to perform a gay wedding against its will. That case was about an IRS provision that does not apply to churches themselves, IIRC - 501(c)(3).
My instinct is to avoid passing laws that allow for discrimination where there is no threat that they are needed to avoid what would clearly be First Amendment violations, but maybe I'm just one of those small government guys that you've been hearing so much about. If anyone credibly threatens to force a church to perform a wedding against its will, and the case goes to court and the church is ordered to perform said wedding, and that church loses on the inevitable appeals (there are so many lawyers at my firm that would love to take the church's case, let alone the not for profit religious liberty legal groups), then pass that legislation post-haste because that would be a clear violation of the First Amendment, and the normal course of rectifying a constitutional violation will have failed.
