Marriage is a legal institution in the United States. If you call for discriminatory access to a legal asset, you should be ready for the scrutiny.
Had the shoe been on the other foot and we were funding a proposition to limit the recognition of Christian marriage, Christians would call it an opposition to their existence too. And rightfully so! The backlash makes sense on a logical, emotional and authoritative level. I don't see how you could possibly interpret it otherwise.
