If someone has religious objections to same-sex marriage, they don't have to marry their gay lover. Just shack-up.

Given the opportunity, Thomas would outlaw gay marriage in a NY second.
"Although Justice Clarence Thomas agreed with the court's decision not to take up the dispute, in a scathing statement joined by Justice Samuel Alito, he criticized the Supreme Court's 2015 decision and said it "bypassed the democratic process" and left people with religious objections to same-sex marriage "in the lurch."
"Davis may have been one of the first victims of this Court's cavalier treatment of religion in its Obergefell decision, but she will not be the last," Thomas wrote. "Due to Obergefell, those with sincerely held religious beliefs concerning marriage will find it increasingly difficult to participate in society without running afoul of Obergefell and its effect on other antidiscrimination laws."
