I make it a point never to discuss politics, religion or baseball with strangers. I've seen too many of those lead to fights. And I'm serious about baseball - in Chicago, it can be quite the devisive topic.
I also have very conservative inlaws, but they have enough respect for me not to try to convert me to their way of thinking. It sounds like your future father-in-law has no idea that your beliefs are different than his, and you haven't given him any reason to think otherwise, at least from what you've written. So basically its your fault if he has no idea that you don't support a ban on gay marriage. Either work up the guts to tell him or put up with his political diatribe. Your choice.
