ELI5: If our country has freedom of religion, why are gay rights even an issue?

The biggest issue people bring up with this is that the Bible says it's wrong, etc. I'm a straight, Christian and not an activist in any way - I'm just confused as to why this is such an issue and can't be passed.

LY5: Life is not always fair.

LYNot: A supreme court issue. Same sex marriage is never recognized at a federal level. Six states have legalized it while some others have the (separate but equal) civil unions. In most cases the legal definition of marriage is a man and a women. Legislation is needed to change it. Religion may have inspired these laws but they are not written religiously, just defended as so.
