Lets look at this one at a time.
Are you saying being gay is a religion, therefore prohibiting gay marriage some how denys the free exercise thereof?
How could banning gay marriage violate freedom of speech? There is certinly a lot of talk about the subject. In the news too.
Now the right of the people to peaceably assemble should not be considered because it isn't about assembling the people, unless you count the little ones created by the marriage.
And a bunch of people have petitioned the government for a redress of grievances.
