Why do Republicans pretend ministers will be forced to perform gay marriages?

While I don't think opposition to SSM will peel away that many voters, if a candidate can be goaded into saying homophobic things it would definitely lose them voters. I was very disappointed President Obama didn't try this in the debates. There was never a question about it but he could've worked it in and cornered Romney into either saying something homophobic or flip flopping on the issue.
