    One would think a church would have special privileges in this kind of situation.

    Also the state doubling down on it being a “business” is so funnily on the nose to me.

      I think they kinda do, hence the religious persecution accusation. This could easily be argued to be a violation of the first amendment. In top of the other more obvious reasons this was evil.
