Religion isn't a valid motivation because it can be demonstrated that these people aren't consistent in their application of their religious principles. They claim the bible says homosexuality is wrong, which is open to dispute. On the other hand, the position on divorce and remarriage is very, very clear in the bible, yet these people ignore it. They ignore the bible on things concerning heterosexual sex, but try to enforce what they claim the bible says on homosexual sex. This obvious raises the question that they're inconsistent in their alleged biblical motivation. Why enforce it for homosexuals but ignore it for heterosexuals? Sounds like they're disguising some ulterior motive, such as hatred.
