However, this ruling will force every taxpayer to support it financially, and that is a problem.

Can you explain to me just how you're force to support SSM financially, and do SSM partners support your marriage financially?

I do not consider churches to be moral, yet I am forced to subsidize their existence due to their tax exemptions. Should we get rid of churches?

Yep.

Gay marriage bans are dead at the federal level and on life support at the state level. We're just waiting to pull the plug.

You arent subsidizing their existsance either.. Allowing people to keep their own money isnt a subsidy

Don't worry your pretty little head about it. The Rapture/Second Coming is right around the corner and everything will be put right.
Right?

I wonder if there's any way to tie this into federal charges not being filed for marijuana legality in the states that have made it legal?

If the state legalizes then the Feds shouldn't charge those in that state for something considered legal.
