It seems like the answer is no. You become an EU citizen when you are a citizen of an EU member. Italian citizens are all EU citizens because Italy is an EU member. You cannot obtain EU citizenship without becoming a citizen of a specific member nation of the EU.
Unfortunately, you cannot apply for Italian citizenship based upon same-sex marriage to a citizen of Italy since Italy does not currently recognize same-sex marriages.
You can, however, apply for Italian citizenship by naturalization as an individual without relying upon your marriage to an Italian. You must legally reside in Italy for 10 years before applying for naturalization.
Another option is for you and your Italian husband to move to another EU country and both apply for citizenship there, but this might be more difficult or take more time. Your family can apply for Belgian citizenship after only 2 years of legal residence, for example.
However, it is likely that Italy will recognize same-sex marriage before ten years from now. If Italy does begin to recognize same-sex marriage, then you would need to reside legally in Italy for 2 years after marriage before applying, or be married to an Italian for 3 years if you live abroad. That timeframe is likely to be retroactive, especially is same-sex marriage is legalized by court decision rather than legislatively.
