This is not just about marriage but the whole enchilada baby. They get to live where they want, work where they want, sue anyone who discriminates against them for being gay. You know be treated the same as every other citizen.
90% of the military didn't want integration when Truman issued his executive order. Worked out pretty damn good. About 61% of the public want guaranteed civil rights for gays. The public is in front of the government this time.

You say 'how dare the government say who you can love and marry?' Well people can love and marry who they want [unless you have examples of the government telling people 'stop loving that person or go to jail'], only the government will only legally recognize and give benefits to certain arrangements. And the gay marriage thing is the government SAYING 'cool, we like this particular arrangement.'
"How dare they do that? I demand they do more of it!!!"
And no matter what you think is going on, gay marriage is separate from whether sexual orientation/identification/leaning/spectrum is a protected class. And the latter is going to be a much thornier separate debate.
