Or you can stop being a dick by forcing them at gunpoint to violate their religious beliefs over what's actually a trivial matter for you.

No. Homophobia is not a trivial matter. Hatred is not a trivial matter. Discriminating against people for doing nothing practically wrong is not a trivial matter. Anyone who wants to believe that gay people (or black people, or white people, or straight people, or Jewish people, or Muslims, or Christians, or women, or men, or any other group that's defined by anything other than relevant personal action) should be deprived of the services offered to every other person is going to have to defend that decision on a practical basis.

Religious beliefs are not above the scrutiny to which every other belief is held. If a belief can't be defended beyond a blind "God said so!", then it absolutely should be dismantled with logical and pragmatic thinking, and people should be prevented from using that belief to cause harm until they can be made to see reason.
