from the LA Times:

The Catholic Archdiocese of Washington said Wednesday that it would be unable to continue the social service programs it runs for the District of Columbia if the city refused to change a proposed same-sex marriage law.

The threat could affect tens of thousands of people the church helps with adoption, homelessness and healthcare.

Under the legislation, which the City Council is expected to pass next month, religious organizations would not be required to perform or make space available for same-sex weddings. But they would have to obey laws prohibiting discrimination against gays and lesbians.

Even if you’re in favor of freedom to discriminate, how that could be more important than helping the less fortunate is beyond me.

At first I thought that this article was a joke, since it reminds me of The Onion’s video segment “Christian Charity Raising Money To Feed Non-Gay Famine Victims”, but it’s seemingly not.
