"Shoving your onion-loving beliefs down his throat" would be "forcing him to eat onions," not "forcing him to acknowledge that some people love onions and should be allowed to eat onions, even though he hates onions and hates eating them.
Is anyone forcing this guy to marry another guy? No. Then nobody is forcing gay marriage down his throat, any more than Christians, Jews, or Muslims are forcing me to go to church, or that restaurants are forcing me to eat meat, or dog aficionados are forcing me to have dogs as pets.
In other words, this acquaintance of yours is an idiot.
