Gay culture is, what? How "most gays" act, according to the study you've found?
And, if there's a homosexual who doesn't fit the stereotypes you're presenting here, that person is SOL, because others of "his kind" don't act the way you think they ought to act?

1) It seems as though this leaves ~77% of the sample unaccounted for. 77%, to me, is quite a bit.
2) Do we have comparable numbers for the heterosexual community? These numbers seem fairly meaningless to me, if we don't have what I guess you'd call "the norm" to compare them to.
3) So?
If there was any given part of the straight community that had these same numbers (a particular ethnicity, or religious group, or whatever), would that mean that community shouldn't have the legal right to marriage?

The last study has also shown than "all couples with a relationship lasting more than 5 years have incorporated some provision for outside sexual activity in their relationships."...Do you realize how damning that is for benefits/acklowledgement for recognizing rights for a group of people that really aren't interested in monogamy? |
Marital monogamy is not the same thing as sexual monogamy. Though the Old Testament demands putting adulterers to death (God is Love), in contemporary society marital partners, straight or gay, may choose not to be sexually monogamous to one another.
Wanting to have sexual variety is not the same thing as not wanting one life partner.

With a culture that's not interested in marriage....Why should it be awarded that? |
Fortunately, we're not discussing the rights of a "culture"; we're discussing individual human rights.
And people should be "awarded" rights due to being human beings.
