It is if you consider what reasoning lies behind the denial of gays getting married. You cut through all the crap and it ends up being religious bullshit. Now, there are people who are against gay marriage because they're against all civil marriage, but that's a different argument entirely. And I got no issue with them. Even so, if you are against civil marriage, would not at least admit that if civil marriage exists that gays should be a part of it too?
I feel similarly about hate crime legislation. Don't support it on the grounds that it essentially legislates thoughts and I think government has no business doing so. It's one issue where I stray from the left. However, it still exists and I am at the very least glad gays are included even if I don't support the hate crime legislation. I care about equal treatment ultimately.
