While I have issues with that, being made to rent space and being forced to perform the actual service in violation of one's sacramental convictions aren't really the same thing at all.
A church should still be able to decide what can and cannot occur in their sacred spaces.
Then the church needs to stop renting to persons/entities outside their church or denomination and make that clear in their advertising.
If they do rent to outside persons/entities then they open themselves up to discrimination suits (which apparently they have).
So what's more important, convictions or money? If they take the money or make an agreement and make no religious stipulations in their advertising and then say "no" they should be bitch slapped all over town.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.
