Because the title of this thread talks about a state in AMERICA legalizing gay marriage. Not all people believe in what you believe, the same way not all countries may agree with what america has to bring. They have deep beliefs in the sanctity of marriage and family, and things like this proliferating in their backyard is enough to get those people killed.
Sure you may claim that any other european country can legalize gay marriage but unlike america they are much tolerant and will not push their agenda without being so violent about it.
Here is a quote from Zbigniew Brzezinski, author of the classic The Grand Chessboard(a important book that reveals america's foreign policies and to note some of what he has said has already come true). Published September 17, 1998
When he refers to Eurasia he actually is talking about Russia and Russia is just merely defending itself.
"How America 'manages' Eurasia is critical. A power that dominates Eurasia would control two of the world's three most advanced and economically productive regions.
A mere glance at the map also suggests that control over Eurasia would almost automatically entail Africa's subordination, rendering the Western Hemisphere and Oceania geopolitically peripheral to the world's central continent. About 75 per cent of the world's people live in Eurasia, and most of the world's physical wealth is there as well, both in its enterprises and underneath its soil. Eurasia accounts for about three-fourths of the world's known energy resources." (p.31)
And he talks about a society which is actually shaped by the opinions of an elite shaped by technology which in this case is social media. And pro-gay rights are not an exception:
“Another threat, less overt but no less basic, confronts liberal democracy. More directly linked to the impact of technology, it involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled and directed society.
Such a society would be dominated by an elite whose claim to political power would rest on allegedly superior scientific knowhow. Unhindered by the restraints of traditional liberal values, this elite would not hesitate to achieve its political ends by using the latest modern techniques for influencing public behavior and keeping society under close surveillance and control. Under such circumstances, the scientific and technological momentum of the country would not be reversed but would actually feed on the situation it exploits.
…
Persisting social crisis, the emergence of a charismatic personality(obama
??), and the exploitation of mass media to obtain public confidence would be the steppingstones in the piecemeal transformation of the United States into a highly controlled society.”
What I quoted speaks for itself, no need to explain further.

Read my earlier post. And it is not any countries right to interfere in how they run their governments. Please look at the track record of america, they said Iraq was harboring WMDs, libya was financing terrorists, etc. but in the end it was all about their interests.
