It's time to move on and focus on issues that will actually affect this nation's future viability. The gay marriage battle is over.

Next step will be forcing churches to conduct ceremonies.
This is nothing more than conservative Christian fear-mongering. There is absolutely zero precedent for this and such a move would be vehemently opposed by even a large number of proponents of gay marriage, such as myself.
Churches will never be forced to wed gay couples against their will.

And private businesses will never be forced to bake a cake?

Not even remotely the same thing. There are public accommodation laws (which I oppose) that provide precedent for forcing a baker to make a cake for a gay wedding. Forcing churches to wed gay couples would be a clear violation of the first amendment.
Your comparison is simply invalid.

I oppose that as well. It's the state intruding on private property rights and violating the principle of economic freedom of association and the state basically saying they own your labor, capital and overall business. Only somebody that hates freedom would argue otherwise.

Gay marriage on SCOTUS will probably be 6-3 or 7-2 in favor of but it wouldn't be surprising for it to be unanimous as well like loving was.
Doubt it would be unanimous. Scalia would rather stick a hot poker in his eye. Plus you have to add Thomas as against since he does whatever Scalia does.

Constitutional strawman arguments notwithstanding, the antichurch agenda will move forward leveraging social pressure, perhaps in the extreme. In light of a battle not yet waged, stating "churches will never be forced to wed gay couples" is a bit naive.

As a life long Republican and Virginia resident, I honestly dont care that Virginia will ultimately approve gay marriage. I personally disagree with gay marriage but think that homosexuals should be allowed to get married if they so choose. However, if homosexuals want to be recogized as a normal functioning members of society, they should act as such and refrain from flaunting their flamboyant lifestyle in front of my family. Obscene PDA from both heterosexuals and homosexuals is offensive.

The problem is, Virginia isn't making that choice.
The choice Virginia made was to not give legally valid status to gay marriage.
The "choice" was by one (1) district court judge and two (2) appellate judges.
For federalists like myself, I have a problem with this. If VA actually voted to legalize it, I would not have an issue.

Understood. I dont care about their recogition for tax purposes either. My only thought is dont infringe upon my life or the liberty of others and I will do the same.

We are almost already there
Forcing all 50 states to recognize a made up right of marriage is as statist and big government as it gets
Marriage should fall under grounds of the 10th amendment, left up to the states to handle and for the federal government to GTFO

I am not so sure
The gay rights lobby is too large and has become a big leviathan that continues to need to be fed. Once gay marriage is legal in all 50 states the gay rights lobby will need another issue to whip up, so they can continue to be relevant. The gay rights lobby isn't just going to go away, they need issues to get their supporters all riled up about so they can continue to exist and get money.
Forcing churches to marry gays could be that issue to keep them going. They won't just fold.
Did the civil rights movement fold when segregation was ended? They are still alive more than ever, calling racism for every single issue. Gay rights lobby will be no different.

The first and last step to democrat wedge driving is to do a study on voter demographics in states which passed gay marriage bans. Black voters tend to vote pretty heavily in favor of the bans. Rinse. Repeat.
Yet no one does this.
