there is a legal right to interdenominational marriage, or to remarry after divorce. But churches and clergy have the right to refuse to perform those marriages.
The people you mention don't have quite the political influence that the sodomy lobby has. Their behavior to date shows me that they will try to force compliance as soon as they think they can.

I have no doubt that they will try. They will certainly try (and have obviously already tried) to force businesses and private individuals to go along with same-sex marriages. But forcing clergy to perform a religious ritual against their will is, I believe, a line that no court, not even the most liberal courts in the country, will cross.

... And I predict that they will go for the kill not too long after they have their Supreme Court decision.
