It's the legislating of discrimination that bothers me. It really boggles my mind that in America there are folks who are denied rights that others possess. What's the difference between this and whites-only restaurants and bars?
Now, if it was the individual churches that were denied the right to refuse to marry gay people, that is different in my mind, and I lump that into the same pile as, say, private clubs.
