And, this is off-topic, but I'd like to know what you think about this. How long do you think it'll be until a gay couple tries to sue a church for refusing to marry them?
You can't sue an exclusive club for not allowing you in for your believes, skin color or who you sleep with. See the Boy Scouts of America for proof, along with Shoal Creek Golf Club in Birmingham, AL. Churches most definitely fall into that catagory. They are under no duress to admit anyone as a member of the congregation.

So how long will it take? Never. There's plenty of precedence in the judicial system to prove that.

Next?
