A cleric is ordained by his church, the government gets no say in what training, continuing education or even morality the cleric must have (see Catholic church and pedophilia as an example), A pharmacist is licensed by the state with a specific set of regulations on training, morality, and ongoing education. Can you see the difference? The only organization that could force a cleric to officiate a same sex marriage is the hierarchy of that church if they decree that it is requirement for their clergy.

I do understand the difference but it has never stopped the government from trying to back door an issue or offer incentives. If 9 men and women can decide on a national level the redefinition of marriage then I believe they can conveniently redfine many things.
I could give a hoot about people's private lives but this issue of same-sex marriage goes beyond benefits because benefits can be obtained with redefining marriage. No this is about a need to validate a lifestyle to socialize it and then to normalize it and unfortunately with the assistance of liberals and Hollywood now-a-days homosexuals are winning their makeover campaign . There are already increase movements in boy-man relationships and incest and despite experts opinion on pologamy the fact remains that attorneys are quite gifted in inventing rights that never existed or omission of rights that never existed.
There was a case in San Francisco some years back concerning a trolley car that let loose. a woman found only to have a contusion her her thigh made claim that the accident caused her to become quite promiscuous ;albeit she testified that she was quite sexual active in college. She won a very handsome reward.
the moral of the story is never say never
