In short, the problem is--according to these bishops--because there's a bullying law on the docket, it might lead to same-sex marriage. In other states that have had bullying bans, the bans have been used in the case for same-sex marriage.
Human dignity is a primary teaching of the Catholic Church. It's the first tenet of the social teachings. Even from the USCCB's website, it reads, "...the measure of every institution is whether it threatens or enhances the life and dignity of the human person." This is a case in point where the dignity of human beings are being threatened, where worth is questioned, and lives sometimes become at stake.
