Except you’re comparing apples and oranges. That is purely a governmental issue with no bearing in any religious organization or worldview whatsoever.

You can’t make that comparison because the parties affected are not the same and wouldn’t respond the same. No one is being compromised by more people being allowed to vote, whereas the opposite is true for forcing religions to change their marriage rituals.

Wait, what? You think that churches weren’t involved with segregation, lynchings, and maintaining the black/white apartheid in the US? There weren’t people justifying their racism by quoting the bible?

And of course people felt “compromised” when African-Americans (and hey, women!) got the right to vote. The vote represents power and what do you think that the disenfranchised would want to do when they got that power? Vote for the status quo? I don’t think so.
