I can understand why everyone should be free to do what they want, but I can also be disappointed in what they do.

That you can. So why prevent them from doing so? It doesn't affect you personally in any way, shape, or form.

But are others just using it as a political statement, a statement about equality and rights and acceptance?

Right, cause staight people never get married for reasons other than love (money, fathering a child out of wedlock, citizenship, mail-order brides etc...)

But the other half of me realizes that there are currently different levels of marriage, such as common law marriage (which I do not consider "real" marriage, just like I do not consider gay marriage "real" marriage)

Common law is no different than marriage except for that pesky legal document, hence why I think marriage is just a piece of paper. Seriously, tell me whats different? Do people love each other less? Can they not have children? What if they're non-believers who choose not to get married?
