I look at like, there's one less man in between me and that hot girl.
In my experience the hot girls chase after the gay guys then get all disappointed when they find out they are gay, then they do the same thing all over again.
All of you saying marriages shouldn't be recognized by the government, only by religious groups: Read about Israeli marriage law. That's how things work in Israel, with each religion having its own marriage laws and it is a giant screw-up. Most religious groups won't marry couples where the husband and wife have different religions. Atheists and agnostics cannot legally get married in Israel. Only Orthodox rabbis can officiate Jewish weddings and they have different rules than other sects of Judaism which those other sects nonetheless have to follow. Only 9 Christian churches can recognize marriages, problem is there are a lot more Christian denominations than that. Divorce is also handled by the courts, and some religions do not allow divorce while Islam for example practices Sharia law.
What this means in practice is like 10% of the Israeli population gets married overseas, then goes back to Israel where foreign marriages are legally recognized.
IMO, it is best for governments to recognize a "baseline" civil marriage and then religious organizations can add their own rules to that, and following those rules is up to the individual conscience of the people involved.
