I have never seen such a blatent, desparate attempt to discriminate against gay/lesbians UNDER the cover of religious beliefs.

I might respect these people if they just said they want to practice their freedom to discriminate. To pretend that this penchant for discrimination has anything whatsoever to do with practicing religious freedom is ridiculous and should be opposed by religious people of all stripes.
