Um, what?
There's no equivalency. The question is wh ether you'd be considered a fool or a religious fanatic if you publicly lambasted people for eating bacon, loudly decried it as a sin or demanded the government prevent people from eating bacon.
You'd better believe that if you did that, people would call you a nutbar.
On the other hand, no one is calling you crazy if you don't want to get same sex married - just as they don't if you choose not to eat bacon, as you correctly note.
