We are first and foremost (at least from a legal point of view) inhabitants of the US, Canada, the Netherlands, wherever we are. Which means we have to abide our respective laws. Laws which allow for gay marriage in the Netherlands, in Belgium, in Spain and Canada.

If you believe that eating certain foods is a sin, you are entitled to your belief. But you are not allowed to harass people to make certain that they don't eat that certain food. Especially if these people don't share that belief of you.

Not every gay is Catholic. Why should a non-Catholic follow Catholic teachings, in a secular matter? Unless you live in a theocratic and Catholic State, I don't see the rationale behind that.
