Being true to yourself is one of the main aspects of this song, but I'm going to point out some of the others. He touches on hypocracy.
"watch this hand give peace sign
while the other chokes a man"
More than just being about the gay marriage issue, it's pointing out the hyporacy in some of the more, shall I say rabid, practictioners of Christianity, whom are supposed to love everyone.
Moreover, I think he might be annoyed with the way some preachers seem to try to make God and Religion "cool"... though if he's annoyed at the youth for not paying attention if it's not cool, or at the preachers for using such tactics, I couldn't say.
I'd also like to point out that this song especially points out how much Butch has grown as a songwriter. Letters is a good album, yes, but most of the content isn't very deep. Granted this song isn't a 42 or anything, it still shows some more depth than most stuff on the last CD.
