But the big difference is, they want to dictate how I live my life and what I do with consenting adults in the privacy of my own home. I don't really give a flying fuck what they believe or do, as long as they leave me out of it. They claim I infringe upon their rights by holding differing beliefs; they claim I infringe on their rights if I say they can't make my life decisions for me.

Anyone see the difference here?
You have really hit the nail on the head.

I think it's time to make divorces much more difficult to obtain.
Clearly the fastest way to defend the sanctity of marriage would be to outlaw divorce except in extreme circumstances (like abuse). I mean, I wasn't under the impression that gay people marrying would somehow destroy the marriages of straight people. I missed that causal relationship.
