Rufus Wainwright most certainly DOES support gay marriage, just not for himself. He has been quite active in the campaign to allow same-sex unions, as numerous activities, such as his involvement in Cyndi Lauper's Human Rights tour, attest. For a clearer pronouncement of his opinion of same-sex marriage, go here, the BBC's "Five Minutes With..." interview program: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7736275.stm. Furthermore, at recent concerts in Florida, days after the ruling, he made repeated comments about his abhorrence of Prop 8. He even changed the lyrics of his song "Going to A Town" to express his profound disappointment at the outcome. It seems to me the gist of Wainwright's argument is: 1. The State has no place in affairs of the human heart, regardless of whose heart it is and what that heart is feeling; 2. Anyone should have the right to marrying anyone they wish, without legislative interference; and 3. While he personally does not want to get married, he would be happy, as he said in Florida, "to go to your weddings."
