More in connection with item 2:

"Robert George also warned about this attempt to equate opposition to homosexual marriage with racism. ...

"He said the churches will find various legal disabilities imposed upon them: “It has already happened in Massachusetts, where Catholic Charities has been driven out of the field of providing adoption services.”"
