What a ridiculous idea. If you are deeply opposed to gay marriage, the only way that becomes an issue is if it bleeds over into your work. This sort of bigotry becomes a problem because people who are deeply opposed to gay marriage can't shut up about it or stop themselves from trying to apply their 'values' to others who didn't ask for it.

  This inability to separate emotions and passions from cooperating on a shared focus with others, of differing emotions and passions, but equal interest in the shared focus (community) is deeply damaging.

This is equally nonsense. Being alive and being a functional member of society means realizing that there are passions and emotions that do not belong in any work environment. Being intolerant of gay people is one of them.
