Part of having equal rights is to have the right to vote however you feel is best.

Having equal rights does not mean you have the right to place restrictions on other members of society. Are you saying that if I'm a neo-nazi KKK member, I am fully within my rights to create laws restricting black people? It would be my belief that they don't deserve certain things after all, and stopping me from forming such laws would restrict my rights.

If you believe that gay marriage should be made illegal, then of course that is how you would cast your vote.

And that's why matters of human rights should not be put to vote - we have a responsibility to protect minorities against the majority.

"Live a good life.
If there are gods and they are just,
then they will not care how devout you have been,
but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by.
If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them.
If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life
that will live on in the memories of your loved ones."
Marcus Aurelius
