Adding sexual discrimination bans to laws, and then extending it to gay marriage, cannot in any even remotest fashion be legitimately allowed to replaced freedom of religion and conscience under the 1st Amendment. Human history itself denies even the attempt.

The MOST that would be remotely legitimate legal theory would be to allow equal status, i.e. gays to marry under the law, AND religious people of conscience not to serve it in any way in their businesses other than what they make available to the general public. But forcing - at gunpoint, no less - personal creative effort specifically supporting the cultural celebration of gay marriage? No way. That MUST be voluntary.

The subject matter is NOT “equality.” It’s the religious redefinition of marriage itself for the entire human race and the denial of the most fundamental human right of freedom of conscience and religion. In forcing it, the law literally makes ancestral religions illegal and millions of people instant criminals overnight, in favor of not gays, but an all-powerful corporate business model that trumps human rights themselves.

That’s not law - it’s atrocity.

It is more that freedom of religion. It is also freedom of speech and assembly.
