The perspective is mostly defined by people's emotions, religious beliefs and/or cultural backgrounds. From a purely 'legalistic' point of view any marriage is a public-law contract that simply regulates two peoples' rights and obligations towards each other, the position, obligations and rights of and towards any children they may have, the laws and jurisdiction that may apply regarding their property and of the fiscal treatment that is applicable to all of the above.
In itself, there is nothing moral in that, nor in the question if exactly the same rules should be applicable to any two other persons forming a steady and durable 'household', be it persons of the same sex or not. It is more a question if in comparable situations comparable rights, obligations and laws should be applicable.
But as long as there are people whole firmly believe that their Holy Book makes marriage a 'holy bond', to be established only between people of different sex (or who secretly or openly think that homosexuality is only a form of perversion anyway), they will consider it a moral issue. You may stand prepared for a number of contributers to add their personal beliefs to mine and make this answer as complicated as the issue is to many.
