Views have reasons, either rational or faith-based. "No questions asked" the way you used it, I think, means faith-based, by defintion, because it means that we can't question it, which means you don't have any reason other than you believe it to be truth.
I'm not going to try to persuade you out of it, since you're welcome to have that opinion, but it is analytically impossible for you to say, "I have no problems with gays and I'm happy for them to do whatever they want...but they can't get married." No problems means just that, no problems. What you're saying is, "I'm generally ok co-existing with homosexuality, but simply because it is two members of the same sex, they have not earned the priviledge/right to get married and gain the associated benefit." If marriage is a priviledge, then you're saying that two straight people have earned it and have something that two gay people don't or have done something that two gay people haven't done. If marriage is a right, then they are second class citizens who are not entitled to the same rights as everyone else. Either way, by virtue of their status as gays, you've devalued their status, which means you have a problem with it.
