Although some churches cited the fear that they would be sued for discrimination for refusing to marry same-sex couples, that fear is illusory, since churches are exempt from the anti-discrimination laws of California and always have been. A church cannot be sued for refusing to marry people who have been divorced, or who do not belong to their faith, and likewise they could not be sued for discrimination on the basis of gender, sexual orientation, disability, age, race, color or national origin. They are statutorily exempt from anti-discrimination laws.
