it'd be more like giving one person rare steak and one well-done steak

Lots of things are "just words".
The fact that gays could not marry put them in a separate class from the rest of society, and separate is never equal. You cannot EVER have a society that treats everyone equally, but then have separate institutions for different groups.
When you exclude gays from marriage, society gives people permission to think that gays DESERVE to be excluded, so they then exclude them from other things such as jobs or housing.
Marriage is incredibly important whether or not you personally intend to marry.
Like, I get that it can seem trivial, I know - but it really is an important word.
