I have already in this thread talked very extensively why I believe this is the case, but I'll give you a link to my journal article i which I explain some of my thoughts as to why objections to it from a moral perspective (particularly religious) are in my opinion false
here.
I'd answer your question specifically, but right I am being forced by a huge man with a whip to go and perform some strange homoerotic sex scene set in a rugby changing room where they make us under 17 year olds fight each other naked. It's technically child abuse towards me, but apparently it's legal in the states which is where they will sell the footage.
I'll be back - but before then please tell me why you think gay rights is SEPARATE from CIVIL rights. Please tell me where the distinction is.
I'll add right now that being gay is not something one can have any control over, no more than the colour of your skin, so denying them marriage makes as much sense from a civil rights perspective as denying black people marriage or asian people marriage.
