RELIGIOUS LIBERTY: Maggie Gallagher

I too think it is unlikely that churches will be forced to marry same-sex couples. What is almost certain is that religious organizations such as Catholic Charities and the Salvation Army will be forced to treat same-sex couples as married.  Schools that teach marriage is the union of a man and a woman may find their accrediation and tax exempt status at risk.

This is precisely because marriage is a public not a private act, which laws enforce.

And this result is most likely in a legal environment in which courts are striking down marriage laws because they are discriminatory, irrational, and based therefore on "animus."
