Being equal doesn't neccessarily mean being the same. As mentioned above, men and women enjoy equal rights here. Does that make them them the same? Another example is being a Catholic, a Muslim, an Atheist, etc. I'm sure you'll agree they're not the same. But they do enjoy equal rights.

In fact, by labelling it "gay" marriage and "straight" marriage, you're distinguishing one from the other. Really, the only difference is semantics, but there's a difference nonetheless.
I wish I could have articulated this. Thanks!
