Your belief that gays should not allowed to marry illustrates that you believe some people are Less Than bases on things out of their control (their sexuality, in this case).
To hold this opinion is not a problem. To defend it, or espouse it, however, you have no choice but to step forward and say "gays are not as much People as me." That's an attack on someone's humanity, and totally unacceptable, totally untenable.
People being upset with you for attacking someone's very worth as a human isn't them being snowflakes, it's them fully rejecting a prejudiced person, and showing them the door.
