Are you registered as a business? Or do you depend on donations for your participation in the wedding ceremony?
Not a business? Then you're fretting over nothing. Neither you or your church/synagogue/mosque or other house of worship are compelled to participate in a marriage ceremony for straights, gays or any other legal pairing now or in the future.
Do you have a legal business and pay taxes to the government? I rather doubt this is the case but if it is, you are required to offer your services/products to everyone in the market place.
If you are operating a business without a license, then you are courting the wrath of the IRS. Your concerns with same sex marriage and your morals would be of little consequence by comparison.
BTW, I doubt very much that you will ever encounter a gay couple who wants your services, be they legal or not.

That's all fine for y'all for those who gays don't effect, but what happens when a gay couple wants me to perform their wedding ceremony? A service I offer and depend on for income?

I'm an ordained minister, and I pay my taxes. And despite the legalities between the two, I was just pointing out that gays can in fact effect me and my job. If a gay wanted to make things difficult for me he or she could do that very easily. Luckily I myself haven't been put in that situation. It's not alright when that happens. I've had friends in the ministry who were used for just such a soundboard by gays.
