There is a demonstrable harm in allowing gay marriage. For one, the next step is gay people demanding that pastors not preach against homosexuality. This has been done before, when a gay group tried to sue a pastor. Another thing is it would force pastors to head up the marriages, and most, like my pastor, say that he will go to prison rather than that.

Wow, kind of like responsible recreational drug users, that refuse to sacrifice their rights to consume drugs into their own bodies, of free-will, against the threats of the nanny-state with a moralist agenda?
Perhaps I should give this argument the same amount of respect, and say that once you imprison enough pastors for this "crime", perhaps we can discuss how rational it is to imprison people for others beliefs, as opposed to actions that actually harm others?
Sorry, had to make the parallel, since I see it quite relevant and equal.
