Churches shouldn't be forced to perform the ceremony if it contradicts their beliefs. Or if they just wanna be dicks. That's their prerogative.
But I think this is a non-issue. The gays aren't gonna get married in a stuffy old church that doesn't want them. Plenty of other options for event space. The churches won't get any money from those weddings. And so they have to decide if being an asshole is worth hurting their wallet.
Capitalism!
In general, yes. But some activist fags are gonna try to force them into it at some point, and file suit when told "No."
They'll probably lose. If you look at what this Court has done WRT religious freedom and the free exercise clause, I can't see them extending the strict scrutiny-type analysis they did on civil marriage to private religious institutions.
For those who never took Constitutional Law, the government is subject to strict scrutiny when it takes discriminatory action WRT a "fundamental right", which the Court just said civil marriage is. Private actors may discriminate, although businesses which are open to the public and "common carriers" may not use racial, ethnic, sex, or age as a discriminatory factor unless they can assert a compelling interest.
