N.J. panel faults church group in gay rights case

This is a harbinger of things to come for those states that redefine marriage. The State of New Jersey has used gay civil unions and the radical gay agenda many times to go after civil groups such as the Boy Scouts and, now, after religious groups. In New Jersey's case, the outcome of its civil unions program has been free license for government bureaucrats to infringe on religious freedoms and the rights of property owners in the furtherance of their radical agenda for their state.

Yet another attack on the Free Exercise clause of the First Amendment. You cannot force a person to do something that violates their sincerely held religious beliefs.

Are there no other properties for rent in NJ? This is a clear attack against faith based organizations. Would my church be sued for not agreeing to allow a same sex couple to wed in our chapel?

Funny how the author of the article fails to mention that this church group - which was actually a Methodist retreat center, not a church or synagogue or mosque or temple- was receiving special tax breaks on their properties available for rent provided that all properties subject to that compensation be available for rent by all members of the public. The group is certainly free to be discriminatory as much as it wants but it cannot file to receive special tax breaks that require nondiscriminatory access to the property (property in question being a pavilion on the boardwalk by the beach) if it does so. I would certainly agree with previous commentators if this group was not receiving special tax breaks that required that they provide non-discriminatory rental policies.
