So the other reason is that 'gay marriage' opens the door to discrimination lawsuits against any church that (1) refuses to acknowledge a gay couple as married or (2) refuses to perform the wedding ceremony.

Many--perhaps even most--rabbis won't perform a wedding for a Jew and a non-Jew, and they don't get sued. Some won't even perform a a wedding between two Jews if certain strictures aren't followed.

If that is indeed the reason that Mormons or others don't approve of gay marriage, then they are simply wrong. No one forces any one minister, priest or rabbi to marry specific couples.
