can someone please explain why this is such a big deal in america, is it really that backward over there? Britain's tolerated gays for a few decades now, especially in the last 20 years

A gay person has more chance getting married in the US, than in the UK.

That is true, but there is more homophobia in the USA than in Britain. America has this really weird dual personality of the very socially liberal and the ridiculously socially conservative, most other countries don't have that to nearly the same degree.
