IMHO, the reason most would support such marriages is that the believe the condition of homosexual desire is completely biological. If we could see that such activity is more akin to adultery, fornication, or even alcohol abuse--all combinations of biological desire and human will, then perhaps we'd see these calls for marriage recognition as more of a special interest campaign than a human rights one.

I have talked offline with a couple LDS members who are attracted to the same gender since childhood but never experience it physically and I believe there is some creditability to this but not a biological issue but more of a spiritual experience.
