I won’t make churches conduct gay marriages: Don't Count On It

The bottom line? He won't have to. Those battles will be fought in the civil litigation arena.
The first time a lesbian or homosexual couple seeks to have a church wedding and that church, Pastor, Priest or Rabi refuses, they will be sued for discrimination.

Just another extension of the egalitarian principle of everything has to be equal.

Obama: I won’t make churches conduct gay marriages

President Obama, in his statement hailing the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the Defense of Marriage Act, promised that he wouldn’t try to force religious institutions to conduct gay marriages.
“On an issue as sensitive as this, knowing that Americans hold a wide range of views based on deeply held beliefs, maintaining our nation’s commitment to religious freedom is also vital,” Obama said. “How religious institutions define and consecrate marriage has always been up to those institutions.  Nothing about this decision — which applies only to civil marriages — changes that.”
Here’s guessing that the Roman Catholics and other religious groups that are in the midst of fighting the contraception mandate are skeptical of that pledge.
