They already stated that they're considering it, and I'm pretty sure that they're aware that if they DO put a marriage mechanic into the game at all, not allowing same sex couples to get married will send a stronger message, than it would for allowing them (be it wrong or right, depending on your own personal stance).
I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case at all. I do believe they are trying their best to get it implemented. They don't come off as homophobic or insensitive to me at all, just trying to tread carefully to please the masses.
