Creating laws in support of gay marriage would create discrimination against church leaders

My basis for my Pro position on this is the idea that if laws (or more laws) were created allowing gay marriages, it will lead to discrimination against church leaders, thus canceling out any "equality" claims The Christian church's stance on gay marriage is simple. It is opposed to gay marriage.[1] It is a deeply held religious belief, which is protected under the 1st amendment. For the church to oppose gay marriage is anything but discriminatory.[2] 1. Fears of lawsuits have already started On July 15, 2013, a report was posted on church leaders changing their by laws in order to avoid lawsuits: Joe Carr, pastor of Waynesville Missionary Baptist Church said the following: ""It"s just a matter of time. What"s happening in Europe " we"re going to see happen here and we"re going to see it happen sooner rather than later I"m afraid. We needed to have a clear statement. It"s to protect us from being forced to allow someone to use our facilities who does not believe what we believe the Bible teaches."[3] Another article was posted on Dec. 27 2013. [4] The fear has already set in. Fear has been used as propaganda to achieve a certain goal for ages.[5] Far right opponents of Barack Obama and his health care initiative have used fear tactics to try to deter said initiative.[6] What we see happening here is church leaders succumbing to fear due to instances overseas (see my next section) and changing their own beliefs strictly out of fear. 2. Gays have already started their legal attacks against the church.... and worse! Mr. Carr cited instances in Europe where churches were sued for turning away gay couples [7] [8] [9]. What happens when this reaches America? There was also one instance of a gay man sued his former employer (a church) for wrongful termination because he is gay. Luckily the Supreme Court upheld the church's right to fire the man citing that because it was a religious institution, it had the right to discriminate on who they hire. I could not relocate this source. Discrimination of Christians by gays don't stop inside the church and pulpit and courtroom. It extends to otherwise peaceful protests. What we are seeing here is not only are religious freedoms being slowly eroded away but the right to peaceful assembly as well. You can read all about it and even watch videos of these gays who are "not harming anyone" lashing out at innocent protesters [10] [11] [12] [13] 3. Ohio may have the solution Maybe there is hope that both sides can come to an agreement to where the Church is not discriminated against. Freedom Ohio staged a 2 day poll which indicated that Ohioans wanted gays to get married while still protecting religious freedoms. Freedom Ohio has reported as of Dec 20th 2013 that it as exceeded the 386,000 required signatures to put the Marriage Equality and Religious Freedom Act on the November 2014 ballot [14] Perhaps Ohio has the right idea. If every state adopted a similar law, there would be no discrimination on either side, except for a select few instances. 1. http://marriage.laws.com... 2. http://carm.org... 3. http://radio.foxnews.com... 4. http://www.standard.net... 5. http://en.wikipedia.org... 6. http://www.washingtonpost.com... 7. http://www.lifesitenews.com... 8. http://www.dailymail.co.uk... 9. http://www.charismanews.com... 10. http://www.komonews.com... 11. http://www.inquisitr.com... 12. http://www.youtube.com...
