There are plenty of gays who don't want and don't approve of gay marriage on theological grounds. One example:

You can be an atheist and still appreciate this argument as I do. As for the resignations, fine! Let them do what they want to do. Is it a big deal?

From what I can tell from the article, Britain has civil partnerships which have the same rights, benefits and privileges as marriage. That is a completely different debate from the US where there is are various similar things (eg civil unions) but only marriage has the full rights, benefits and privileges.

The correct fix in the US would be decoupling all those rights, benefits and privileges from marriage (only). However the chances of that happening at the moment are very low. So today the issue is all about marriage.
