focus on "commitments" instead of gay marriage?

There's no "there" there. Gay marriage hurts no one, and preventing it hurts many, for no good reason other than some people think boys kissing is icky.

I agree completely with everything you said. I was just pointing out the hypocrisy in the statement. Voting against civil libertys is actively attempting to force your way of life on someone else. You are not supposed to vote based on your likes/dislikes but what is right. The poster stated that he believed that the right thing is to let people lives their own lives, but then wants to vote against those very beliefs.
What ever happened to ?I do not agree with what you have to say, but will die to protect your right to say it?? This is the same thing.

So, if I vote against making pedophilia legal, will I hear pedophiliacs saying "I'm actively attemptint to force my way of life on someone else? That I should just STFU and let them live their own lives?"

I know pedophilia isn't the best analogy, but your argument can apply to anybody who doesn't have a law in place allowing them to live their lives the way they see fit. With that argument, all drugs should be legal, etc..

Yes.
As long as you are not being harmed, you shouldn't have a say in what I do.
That includes drugs. Pedophilia harms children, therefore society has a say.
Why is this such a hard concept to grasp?

don't be fooled, there is a perceived link between homosexuality and pedophilia that drives much of the anti-gay sentiment
