The threat and problem is that the church thinks that gay people are sinful and that gay relationships are an abomination. Therefore, they will try to block all attempts to validate gay relationships. As marriage is the ultimate form of relationship validity (both socially and legally), the religious idiots want to block it for the same reason that we want it. Having gay marriage legal means that it is truly okay to be gay, and that scares the living crap out of their homophobic arses.
