Sure don't. You can personally not recognize gay marriage all you want. By all means, go ahead. But when you try to inflict your personal morals on everyone else and enact that into law, that is when there is an issue.

The issue is that if you say something bigoted, or try to enact a bigoted law, you can't cry when people call you a bigot. And just because your view has a religious base doesn't shield you from the label of bigot.

Back in the 60's, this same issue was happening with interracial marriage. People cited the Bible (Deut 7:3-4, Lev 19:19, Ezra 9:12, etc) and claimed it 'violated the sanctity of marriage' or some such nonsense. Biblical support or not, those people were bigots. History repeats itself.

You can think whatever you want. If you believe that gay marriage is a sin, don't marry a dude. Just don't cry when people are rallying against your ability to foist your morality on everyone else.

Again, no one is saying that he shouldn't be allowed to have those views. He can personally not recognize whatever he wants, be it polygamist marriages, gay marriages, whatever. But to say people shouldn't be allowed their reaction to his views is ludicrous in its own right, and infringes on those very same liberties you are declaiming.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
