I do think kids should be exposed to a variety of things in life and I'd have no problem with kids going for a field trip to a church, mosque, synagogue, etc. In fact, in a secular school system, I think it's a good idea.
I don't think something that occurs daily (i.e. prayer - or daily lesbian weddings for that matter) would be a good thing to institute. There is a substantial difference between showing kids that something exists and making it part of their daily lives. A bit like the difference between going on vacation and living somewhere.

QFT
Its not like the students schedule this semester is filled with gay weddings and no math or science. I think the thing that irks people is it was a same sex wedding. My kid goes to school in the San Francisco Unified School District and went on a field trip to a jellybean factory last year (4th grade). No one considered this irresponsibly taking away classroom time from the kids. At least with a same sex marriage, it is something that is socially and culturally relevant (especially in San Francisco). For those who brought it up, I also don't see any problem with my kids visiting a religious establishment, and my kid did that last year too (Mission Dolores and Mission Santa Cruz).
