It's easy. Let someone else give the happy couple the license, or the cake, whatever it is. That way, the nuptuals can proceed, and no one has their constitutional rights trampled. Easy in theory. In practice it's a lot harder, because it requires liberals to display a tiny speck of the tolerance that they claim to have a monopoly on.

We give people religious exemptions from laws all the time. Conscientious objectors cannot be drafted and put in combat.
