I'd never heard of the Gazebo case. What a crock. Hey if you want to get married in my synagogue (or they may call it a commitment ceremony, you got me), and you're Jewish and gay and your partner is Jewish and gay then fine. If my Jewish brother wanted to marry his Catholic wife in my synagogue, no dice.
No one can tell a religious body who to marry. Period. I'm actually in favor of having anything done by the state be a civil union (so you get a civil union license rather than a marriage license). You want a marriage - then you have it done by your church, synagogue, whatever.
As for the Catholic church, I lost all respect for them when they persisted in covering up child rape. Sorry, anyone who does that has NO MORAL AUTHORITY to tell anyone anything.
And don't get me started on what the Mormons did in California with their front group.
I wonder how they'd like it if states started passing laws forbiding any who thinks that humans came to earth from another planet from getting married.
