I'm certain the answer would be something like: "We can disagree on this and you're right it doesn't change anything. Yeah, we're good. Can we get back to business now?"
I guess I just have a hard time believing most of your clients wouldn't have a problem with that. If my banker (or whatever you do) came to me and said "hey, we've had a business relationship for years, but just to let you know, I don't support Chinese people getting married", I'd be terribly offended and would tell you to go take a hike.
