I think it's much more about acceptance and respect, personally. It's a desire to get the same benefits as others for the same commitment. "Love" is an intangible - it's a "nice to have" in marriage but not required by any means. However legal marriage offers benefits that committed homosexual couples have trouble getting: tax breaks, power of attorney, estate management, etc. In exchange for those benefits all heterosexuals have to do is sign a paper claiming a commitment - homosexuals are prevented from doing the same thing (in most states).
