Where should we draw the line for religious freedom and religious tolerance?

Here's a link I found today while reading about another topic.

Can you deny people the right to say they don't agree with something? (IE, abortion, or homosexuality).

Should you be able to force a religious person to perform a homosexual marriage?

Should a priest not be able to preach about why homosexuality is negative? If they can do it in a church, why would it be considered promoting hatred outside of church?

I'm not a religious person, but I can see how people are being forced to live their lives in ways that go against what they believe.

In the Camp Arnes (a religious camp) issue, a Gay/Lesbian group filed a complaint against the camp because the camp decided that they wouldn't rent the camp because the groups beliefs differerd from the camps beliefs.

I can see why the choir group is upset, but I can also see why the camp would deny them the service.

Is there a limit that needs to be drawn?

No.

No.

Yes, he should be able to say whatever he wants, and if you preach against people, be ready to face the social consequences.

I don't see that at all.

Freedom of association. In this case, the gays are wrong and the church, while stupid and ignorant are perfectly within their rights to deny service to anyone.
