The belief that choosing to live a certain way is limiting the liberty of others is illogical and ridiculous. Saying that allowing gay marriage restricts the liberty of those who do not believe in it is nonsense.
It has nothing to do with "restricting liberty" it has to do with thinking that "Gay marriage" is a fantastical concept.

Your first bit applies to atheists as well. Christians must be evil because they don't believe Gays should get married.

Right, you want to enforce your view - don't you?

The opposition comes from across the religious spectrum, not just Christians. Religious people are generally socially conservative and not inclined to radicalism. Same-Sex marriage is possibly the most radical social proposition ever.

And pray tell, what kind of different regulations does a same-sex marriage need? What new rule is needed, or what rule is not needed to regulate it?
You need an explicit list of sex acts to define when a marriage has been consummated and when not, and you need to decide whether anal sex counts for a heterosexual couple too.
