Yup. The “loss of religious freedom” they truly fear is the one where pretty exemplary parishioners walk in the front door and say they’re in favor of gay marriage. That they can’t reconcile their conscience with what the local conservative hardliners insist to be true. And that the argument they bought into before never really made sense to them…and less so the longer they looked at it.

“But I believe that a voluntary change of heart is something that anti-gays fear far more than any coercion from government.”

This.

The anti-gays, or at least the ones who know the first thing about the law, know that the fantasies they spin of government persecution and roundups of conservative pastors in the night are just that, fantasy.

But slowly being left behind as society moves forward and relegates them to the dustbin of history? That terrifies them because it’s real, and it’s already started.
