I'm apathetic as hell to gay marriage, it's a non-issue to me. You get it on a ballot, I'll vote for it; but it doesn't make my "top 10 list" of social issues that I feel a need to do something about.
What I find hard to understand is the insistance on the use of the word "marriage". Why not use a term that doesn't carry the same political / religious baggage. Legislation that allowed the same rights, but was labeled as a civil union, would stand a much greater chance of passage. From a strictly tactical perspective, I'd compromise the wording to get the rights.
