In America even sincere and long-held religious views do not trump the constitutional rights of those who happen to have been out-voted," U.S. District Judge John Heyburn in Louisville argued.

I'm sorry, Judge; but, aren't "religious views" a 1st Amendment right. As in the "right to religious expression"? And "gay rights" is where in the Constitution? I suppose it would fall under "pursuit of happiness"; but, does "pursuit of happiness" trump the 1st amendment rights of free expression?

Unfortunately, we lost the ability to that argument once the left found churches willing to marry gay people as part of their "religious expression". Now it's an argument against our position, not for it.
