The religious beliefs of another person regarding the religious sanctimony of marriage have precisely zero weight in us law. All recognized marriages in the united states are recognized by the state. A priest saying magic words doesn't have dick to do with anything beyond the individual who asked their shaman to shake a rattle.
Similarly, it doesn't matter if a person has deeply held but discriminatory religious beliefs. Their religion is not a legitmate grounds for discrimination against the other in any setting under the authority of the public accom clause. That shit belongs in a church, and nowhere else. Our courts have been consistently unambiguous about this. That's what has the religionists panties in such a twist in the first place.
The pollyanna method of bigot apologism is wholly unimpressive.
