they who are the oppressors.

Just as we were talking about in another thread here: NO church would be required by any law to marry LGBTQ persons "or else" suffer prosecution. Their right to refuse to do so is intact.

I think there are a lot of churches who don't want people to know this, because if people DID know that they aren't being forced to marry anyone, they'd see that it is the churches who are the oppressor here and people would run from those congregations like hell, on that fact alone, regardless of what most of them personally think about LGBTQ right to marry.
