I'm not agreeing with any kind of religious belief, I'm just saying that
people have a right that those beliefs are respected. What Voltaire
didn't say etc.

It's really quite simple. If you don't agree with gay marriage, don't get
married somebody who's the same gender as you. Apart from that, it's an
utter irrelevance in your life whether two particular people choose to
marry each other or not.

But it wouldn't be an utter irrelevance to someone with deeply held
religious beliefs, whose teaching said it was wrong.
