They want the basic rights that they enjoy to be denied to LBGT individuals because their dusty tome is at odds with their sexual orientation. They don't care about the U.S. Constitution a bit, only their precious Bibles.This is exactly why you've seen the narrative change. Now you have these southern states digging their heels in, changing the war cry from "sanctity of marriage!" to "judicial overreach!" Popular vote on discriminated minority rights is a bad idea, always. Desegregation would have never happened, interracial marriage would have never happened, equal pay for women will never happen, marriage equality will never happen without judicial intervention.
This is just another example to add to an already unending list of how religion fucks everything up.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
