That's still really weak. It's not "using the specter of gay marriage as a scare tactic", gay marriage really
is seen as a danger to society in much of the republican party. It's not a scare tactic if a danger is genuinely believed to exist. It's a huge stretch to try to find demonization in this.
As for the Bible thing, someone correct me if I missed something, but it seems like a metaphor for organized prayer being banned in public schools. If so, that's much,
much less of a stretch than the 'demonizing gays' thing.
