Constitution enshrines religious freedom, and many religions say marriage is a sacrament. Allow religious people to act on their consciences.
This is a moderate position, one that tries to imperfectly, but sincerely address the issues presented by both sides.
Unfortunately, in today's win all, lose nothing political mentality, moderation is increasingly being seen in the precisely the way you just described my position. Inherently unfair, or even unjust.
