Because having access to marriage means having access to things like hospital visitation rights, inheritance rights, custodial rights over children, etc. It's not 'just marriage', it's a whole panoply of rights that we have established via the marriage contract. Beyond that, it's a fundamental argument of legal equality the same way that arguments over whether or not interracial marriage should be permitted. If you don't support equal marriage rights for LGBT people, you might as well stop pretending you support legal equality for all.
