All US citizens, gay and straight, are affected by US law. The marriage law in question is a US law, not a Catholic doctrine. Very few US citizens are affected by Catholic doctrine.

You've been using religious arguments to debate a secular institution. It makes it impossible to defend your position.
It's like saying all Christians must now celebrate pagan wedding rituals. Or can't get blood transfusions because some religions don't allow it. I've really never understood why these discussions so frequently turn into quoting from the bible. Even if the bible straight up said 'thou shall not marry the gays', it wouldn't matter unless you happen to follow that particular religion.
True, and shunning may be for many reasons other than fear.
I've personally never met anyone who actually feared homosexuals.

I want to go to Heaven. The Bible tells me how to go to Heaven. My Bible tells me in at least 7 locations,
