That is very interesting. I guess any step toward equality should be considered a good step, but I totally see your point - it would be easy to say 'well you got the marriage thing, what more do you want' and continue to ignore all the other issues you mentioned.
My friend Jennifer has no health care because she is self-employeed, and can't afford it (fucking American health care) and she can't get on her partner's plan because the company doesn't have the same sex health care coverage. So yeah, there are lots of issues, you're right.
