I agree with Newt Gingrich that gay people have rights under our Constitution and so does the church, neither should infringe on the other.

Right, and sodomy isn't illegal in this country and homosexuals (and some straight couples) already practice that. Objecting to gay marriage doesn't stop that from happening.
The real problem here is that the church and state have gotten tangled up on the marriage issue. Religious covenants of marriage should be the domain of the church; legal unions and household sharing should be a government issue, IMO.
