Should churches that don't perform gay marriages lose their tax-exempt status?

[DemPGH]

Churches actually decide to perform or not perform wedding ceremonies based on a lot of criteria, so no, not per se. I have a much bigger problem with religious "exemptions" to laws and so forth, which I don't think should be granted.

Religious institutions should lose their tax exempt status if they are actively being political or otherwise endorsing candidates, for one thing, or saying "you, dear congregation, should vote this way or that way." Beyond that it gets real gray, but religious institutions get way too many free passes as it is, so it would be worth taking a look at those areas to try to decide where that line should be.

Now, if I were a gay religious person (I am neither), and my church would not perform a wedding ceremony for me and my partner, then I think I would have to re-evaluate my support of that church.

Does that include Churches which bus congregants to the polls for mass early voting?

I very much frown on that, especially if it's an organized church activity. Local and state governments should ideally take care of that, but the thing is, in a lot of communities the church is the social center. So it's very gray.
