The way I see it, gay marriage is less about whether you agree with the particular moral implications of this arrangement, and more about whether you support the right of two individuals to form a mutually agreeable contract, and to refer to that contract in the terms of their choosing.
As a pacifist, if I saw an iron ore supplier forming a business deal with a handgun manufacturer, I would protest against this arrangement. I would petition other businesses who dealt with the ore supplier to boycott their business. I would boycott the purchase of products made from ore that came from this same supplier, and let other companies know that as long as they purchased ore from this particular manufacturer, I would not buy their products.
The one thing I wouldn't demand is that their right to form a contract in terms of their own choosing be restricted.
No church should ever be forced to marry any coupling they disagree with, they should be free to discriminate. But similarly, there should be the freedom for two people to form a mutually agreeable contract, and for any church to choose to endorse it in terms of their choosing.
