It's you who don't seem to get it. Try to grasp this: living in a democratic society is all ABOUT accommodation. No one's asking you to be gay, or to officiate at a same-sex wedding or anything of the sort. But what you cannot do is to refuse to trade with people whom - for whatever reason - you happen to dislike. It doesn't matter what you don't like about them; their politics or their sexual orientation or their skin tone or their favourite football club.
Your rights are in no wise being infringed by law requiring you to treat with same sex couples on an equal footing. In fact, laws exist to prevent you from refusing to treat with those with whom you disagree. As far as religion goes, you are free to believe whatever you like - your own loony notions are your business and nobody else's. What you cannot do is to manifest these beliefs in a way that makes second-class citizens out of people who behave in a way contrary to the customs of your particular tribe. If you sell a wedding cake to a gay couple, you are NOT supporting or endorsing same-sex marriage. If you sell a car to a gay couple, you are not endorsing same-sex marriage. If you send your child to a school where her teacher is in a same sex marriage, you are not endorsing gay marriage.
In all those cases, what you are doing is affirming the right of free people in a free society to live out their lives in the same way you want to be free to live out yours - to be free from being discriminated against.
