You are living in a dream world. Not thinking gay people should marry is a defensible position in a democracy. Obergefell v. Hodges - the landmark Supreme Court decision - was split.

Obviously, we have come a long way, but if you even went back 50 years, the situation in the USA was nowhere near as bad for homosexuals as it is in say Cairo now.
