Thank you 
Yes, what the fuck is it meant to mean "I don't believe in gay marriage"? Do they mean they don't believe it can happen? Who asked their opinion anyway? Do I have to go around the world asking every religious person if I'm offending them before I sign a contract?
Too bad. Like you say, they don't get to make the rules for everyone else just because their religion happens to have been around a long time. If we were trying to force them to marry gays or something, they would have a reason to complain. Or maybe they think we're going to force them to watch gay wedding night sex tapes. I even wonder if they feel that they have to "stand up" to homosexuality or else people will think they are gay. Or else they think it "devalues" marriage to allow "lesser" people to do it. It makes no fucking difference to them does it? It's not a competition. If they are so insecure about their marriages and their religion and can't defend themselves rationally, clearly they are the ones with the problem.
It makes no sense at all, and when objections make no sense it's a good sign it's just covering bigotry and fear. Your religion requires you to be a dick weed? Get another religion. It's not our problem and you don't get to dictate the law.
