First of all, take away the rights and abilities of people to divorce and see if they have any protests or parades in your community.
Secondly, everyone can agree that people choose to divorce, while only small groups from our society believe that homosexuals choose to become gay. When some regular occurance such as homosexuality happens in nature (which by the way is found in many other animals besides human), it is called "natural". By not calling it evil or sinful you are not calling it "good", rather you are rightfully not putting judgment on it, much like the schools are and should be doing when discussing homosexuality.
Finally, marriage isn't a Christian rite. People were getting married long before Christianity came to be.
