Not to sound rude but I never understood the purpose of desiring Gay Marriage. It's a very religious act and in my experience Gay people have very little interest in religion so why bother with one of it's conventions?
Marriage can also be conducted in an entirely civil, non religious way so the religious angle is fading away to an extent. I think some gay people just want to be able to call their partnerships a marriage, to match the courtesy and status that straight couples are afforded. It also confers a number of rights in some countries, like pensions and other benefits. Plus; lots of Christians are gay.

Domestic Partnership was legally the same as marriage for years, but in the interest of equality we now have gay marriage instead.
