With this decision, in the Majority Kennedy said that people and churches could still oppose SSM, is that right?
If that is correct, does that mean a bakery, caterer, photographer, church, reception hall and florist can deny their services to a same sex couples wedding and reception?
I'm not asking if these businesses can deny a donut to a gay man, I'm asking if they can refuse to take part in what that company sees as their sin?
Also, churches now can deny performing a wedding ceremony to anyone who is not part of the congregation, or even if one of the couple is another denomination. What if a gay couple says they are Christian and has belonged to a church for five years, would that church then been forced to perform a wedding ceremony?
I know that's a very specific circumstance though so it may never come up.
Just wondering.
