Whenever you force anything you will get outrage.
Ok. Where's the force?

Sorry can you rephrase your question?

The majority support same sex marriage and nobody has been forced to do anything. If you don't want a same sex marriage, you are quite safe.
I don't care for Miracle Whip on my sandwiches but the fact that others happen to prefer it in no way shape or form prevents me from not eating Miracle Whip. I can enjoy my mayonnaise and mustard in peace.
Well, unless my ego is such that I feel that because I like mayo then, by God, everyone else will too.
That's called tyranny.
The general population can identify with them, thus outrage.

Yep them being mostly Christians. When something similar happens it falls on deaf ears.
Even Muslims do not protest what happened to that Muslim flight attendant because they know to follow the laws and rules of this country.

Protests and violence[edit]
ROAR[edit]
Main article: Restore Our Alienated Rights
Restore Our Alienated Rights (ROAR) was an anti-desegregation busing organization formed in Boston, Massachusetts by Boston School Committee chairwoman Louise Day Hicks in 1974. Using tactics modeled on the civil rights movement, ROAR activists led marches in Charlestown and South Boston, public prayers, sit-ins of school buildings and government offices, protests at the homes of prominent Bostonians, mock funerals, and even a small march on Washington DC. By 1976, with the failure to block implementation of the busing plan, the organization declined.[3]
Violence[edit]
There were a number of protest incidents that turned severely violent, even resulting in deaths. In one case, Attorney Theodore Landsmark was attacked and bloodied by a group of white teenagers as he exited Boston City Hall.[9] One of the youths, Joseph Rakes, attacked Landsmark with an American flag.[10] According to Landsmark, Rakes was swinging the flag and trying to hit him, not trying to spear him as it appears in the photo, and he narrowly missed.[11] A photograph of the attack on Landsmark, The Soiling of Old Glory taken by Stanley Forman for the Boston Herald American, won the Pulitzer Prize for Spot News Photography (now the Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Photography) in 1977.[12][13] In a retaliatory incident the next day, black teenagers in Roxbury threw rocks at a white man's car and caused him to crash.[6] The youths dragged him out and crushed his skull with nearby paving stones. When police arrived, the man was surrounded by a crowd of 100 chanting "Let him die" while lying in a coma from which he never recovered.[6]
In another instance, a white teenager was stabbed nearly to death by a black teenager at South Boston High School. The community's white residents mobbed the school, trapping the black students inside.[14] There were dozens of other racial incidents at South Boston High that year, predominantly of racial taunting of the black students.[6] The school was forced to close for a month after the stabbing.[6] When it opened again, it was one of the first high schools to install metal detectors; with 400 students attending, it was guarded by 500 police officers every day.[6] In December 1975, Judge Garrity turned out the principal of South Boston High and took control himself.[6]
Judge Garrity increased the plan down to first grade for the following school year.[6] In October 1975, 6,000 marched against the busing in South Boston.[6]
No, I still see mine, which is that these two cases are really completely different.
