If that were where it stopped, but it does not. Christians feel it is their duty and mission to institute laws. policies, etc, that undermine what "feels good" for me. That is the issue. Keep it in your own backyard and we are just fine with whatever flavour kool-aid you prefer.
We simply cannot do that, for your own sake and for our own. We cannot allow you to damn yourselves without a fight, and even if we were your bad example is the sin of scandal, your very actions are a temptation for others to emulate.
That cannot be tolerated, it must be stopped. In ages past we could simply shun you from polite society if you scandalized the faithful, now in this dark age we must return to the methods of the Church Fathers and the Doctors of the Church.
