They're not fighting to be straight. They're fighting to have the same rights afforded to them as citizens of The United States.

No, they are fighting to be straight. Maybe not physically, but they are trying to become a part of a heterosexual institution. Fighting for equal rights would be fighting for their own partnerships to be recognized by the law. If that was their fight, it would be much more difficult to argue against them.
In essence, that is exactly what they are looking for. The gay people I have discussed this with could care less about the term as long as they get the legal benefits (and detriments) that heterosexuals receive with marriage.
