    Aren't there any Muslim LGBT's. Why are just Christian churches being held accountable?
    Shouldn't Islam be required to perform holy marriages for the community?
    I'm just saying, Islam shouldn't just get a pass. Isn't this a double-standard?

    Yes, there are.

    Your questions asks us to posit as true that 'Christian churches are being held accountable' for something. You don't specify what that something is, which churches, or even where this is taking place. Given the subject of your post, we can probably assume you mean something about marriage. But what, exactly? Are you claiming that Christian churches are being required to marry same-sex couples? That would be a false claim, if we're talking about the USA. There are many liars in the world, and some of them aren't above telling lies about gay people, their marriages, and the way in which anti-discrimination laws actually operate.

    No, nor should any religious entity be required to administer a religious rite, such as holy matrimony, to anyone as a matter of civil law.

    No, because that claim relies on the existence of something that isn't happening: 'Christian churches being held accountable' in some way that Islam is not.

    Of course there are.

    They aren't. No church or mosque or synagogue is required to perform wedding ceremonies for anyone: gay or straight.

    Learn the difference between civil marriage and "holy" marriage and then come back. BTW many churches are happy to perform same-sex "weddings". Many were doing so before such weddings could be commuted into legal marriages. Why should their rights to perform legally binding marriages be abridged?

    They're not. An Islamic business must accommodate the public in just the same way as any other business.

    There are no Christian churches being required to perform same-sex marriage. Only for-profit organisations.

    Of course there are homosexual Muslims.

    Christian churches are held accountable for whatthey are accountable for.

    No religion is required to do anything.

    A double standard would mean that one group is held to a different standard than another.

    So far no church has been forced to preform a same sex marriage bigger should any mosque
