As I said, I have no love for Islam, in fact I criticise it often, but that doesn't mean I hate muslims (that'd also be stupid given that I currently live in a muslim country), I don't even hate people who oppose gay marriage, I just disagree with them, find them frustrating, ignorant, or just misguided, but I don't hate them. I'm even friend with them, I only want them to have a live and let live attitude when it comes to us.

Religion is also more than what redditors imagine, it is not only about beliefs (this is why it's often pointless to debate a religious person with facts contradicting them), it's more than that, religion is a way of life, it's a family and community bond, it's traditions, it's childhood memories, it's a connection to history, an identity, rituals, festivities, hope for an afterlife, a confort in difficult times, etc.... Seeing how much confort my partner derives from religion, I'd really feel like a jerk for trying to deprive him of this because I don't agree entirely with it.

Also I feel like I do more for gay rights by mingling with religious people and showing them how normal we are.

The thing is, living as gay man in a muslim country is far from ideal, but it is not the hell that some people imagine either. A muslim society values public conformity above all (appearances), so as long as you behave in public they leave you alone most of time. Basically they don't want you to be gay, but they won't search your house to make sure you aren't either.
