Need a little reassurance?

One of the holdups in the New Hampshire bill granting gay marriage is the section on reassurances that churches don't have to marry gays. What, isn't the US Constitution good enough? Yeah, it is. But… A survey of pastors of six mainline liberal denominations (the story doesn't say which ones, only that they make up 18% of the population) shows that adding the reassurances boosts support by 13%, from 1/3 to almost half! For gains that large, let's reassure them (even if the liberal churches are the quiet ones).
