text: You assume no gays are Christians and no Christians are gay. 
  
  A gay person with religious beliefs is more than welcome to challenge any given law on religious grounds. The fact he is gay doesn't matter. For example, a gay pacifist could challenge draft laws that require him to perform military service. And the court will take his challenge seriously and likely grant him relief.
  
  Religious rights are very real rights found in the Constitution. They are not imaginary rights created by Christians. They exist. They have legal standing. The courts have respected them over the years. And, yes, those rights can conflict with statutory rights, as they do in this case. And they exist as individual rights, not merely group rights. A Christian doesn't have religious rights because he is a Christian; he has those rights because he is a citizen. Everyone, including gays, has those rights. I want to keep them. Some people don't.
