Debunking the Myths:



#1 -- Churches and other religious institutions will be forced to marry same-sex couples

#2 -- Religious institutions can face penalties such as law suits or loss of tax exempt status if they refuse to marry same-sex couples

#3 -- Marriage as we know it will be destroyed

  2. I hope the minister from the Old South church is wrong that Episcopalians cannot perform them because their tradition does not allow it. I know some bishops feel that way; I as hoping the Bp. of Mass would allow his clergy to perform them.
