Impact of same-sex marriage rulings on strict scrutinyinreligiousexemption cases

[hamilton02 at aol.com]

I have been away and apologize if this point has been made already.  Is there reason to believe that religious lobbyists will not propose and succeed in obtaining religious exemptions from laws governing the performance of marriages?  In other words, be permitted to solemnize marriages that are also civilly recognized without having to do any that violate belief?  Why would the marriage laws flowing from these decisions differ from Title VII or the thousands of other exemptions across the states?  The result here will be determined through policy analysis and consideration, not by the free exercise clause, as it should be.  It is not in the interest of the homosexual community to lobby against such exemptions.
