You have the freedom of religion that will never change.....but while you are asking for your religious rights to be respected you ignore our civil rights. If you open a business for public accommodation you cannot refuse service on the basis of your personal beliefs. To put it another way your religious rights stop when they meet my civil rights.
Mixed race marriage was denied on a religious basis the judge, in his opinion, said that GOD separated the races by regions and therefore didn't want them mixed.
I still remember the signs regarding school desegregation...the bible says don't mix the races...did you forget that?
There will be cases of civil rights violations there will be laws enacted to "protect" religious freedom but we have already had a peek at that. Think Indiana
As for me when my partner and I were celebrating our 20 anniversary we hired a photographer my first question to him was "Do you have an issue with a same sex couple" he said no and I said your hired.
If my 86 year old aunt the very Catholic nun can get over that fact that I am gay and married so can you.
