Response to Tom Berg

In response to Tom (here):

My only point, Tom, was that it is no more "statist" for the state, acting against traditional cultural/social prejudices, to allow for same-sex marriage than it is for the state, acting against traditional social/cultural prejudices, to allow for interracial marriage.  I do agree that if the state does allow for same-sex marriage, it should not go further and compromise anyone's religious liberty to live out an oppositional stance in relation to same-sex marriage.
