Am I seriously going to argue Devil's Advocate Style?
Then I guess I shall.
Using MarriageEquality.org
I am not kidding.

"Even after civil marriage becomes available to all same-sex couples in all 50 states, religions will retain the right to decide for themselves whether to perform or recognize any marriage, just as they already do. No court decision or legislative enactment can change the basic tenets of religious faith. For example, some religions will not marry someone who has already been divorced, although the person is free to marry civilly. We respect the right of each faith to decide which marriages it will perform and embrace."
Given that this same logic extends to Interracial Marriage, because the Government doesn't have the right to interpret any religious laws.
Like the Lich named Dritch says, you are going to have to take this up with the Government.
And Dritch?
Make better arguments, you just look like an asshole otherwise.
