You're also saying "respect the opinions of people you disagree with", but at the same time, surely they should respect ours too?

Fucking hell....
Well, marriage shouldn't have anything to do with government whatsoever, so... yeah. I do consider it ridiculous. As long as it has something to do with bullshit on taxes, then whatever... but since it's wrong for that to be the case anyways: I don't want to see religious matters infringed just because bad laws were on the books in the first place.
If your state wanted to legalize it, that was their right. You have the power to vote within your state, and you have the power to move freely between the 48 contiguous united states (and to get married in a different state, whether or not yours recognizes it). To take it to SCOTUS, and to have them rule on it and create a nationwide precedent was really a gross use of their power.
Sometimes you have to respect the opinions of the people you disagree with. There were many manners of change available, this one is one I don't much respect having been chosen.

My girlfriend, for instance, has some pretty high ambitions that she can fully well achieve, being bright as all hell, yet has pink hair? There are therapists for friends of mine, that have pink hair, or other colours. It's not like someone in a position of power goes "Pink hair? Obviously a total degenerate"....
I would get involved in the rest of it, but i don't know enough to dive in head first on transgender issues, other than i support people for who they want to be
It's association with a bad group of people. It's not wrong to have pink hair, but it's definitely frowned upon by those who've interacted with that bad element and now associate fun hair colours with some pretty loud and atrocious individuals.
I've yet to meet a bad person with dyed hair, ironically enough. So basically what you're saying is; You've had bad experiences with people with pink hair, therefore all people with pink hair are bad? Because that's what you appear to be implying
