Yes, according to the Constitution, which is supposed to guarantee equal rights for all.
Note that those who want to ban same-gender marriage would need to AMEND the Constitution to support their hatreds.

No, however civil partnerships are pretty much the same thing, granting legal rights etc. as they would in a marriage. The main difference is that the ceremonies can't be carried out in a church or other religious building. However some churches now will perform civil partnership celebration services, this would involve having the actual civil partnership ceremony in a registry office, then having a separate service in the church - a bit like the way Charles and Camilla married.

Yes. Or, if people are bothered by the word "marriage" then a completely legal equivalent should be found which cannot in anyway be legally treated as less than a heterosexual marriage.

Yes.
Opponents use 2-3 old, tired arguments against gay marriage. To me, they all sound like excuses that get thrown out because they don't want to say, "We don't like them, and this is the only way we can legally discriminate against them". The ones I hear are:
"It's against god's law"
If someone doesn't believe in your god, why should he follow those rules?
"It's an offense against marriage"
Straights have a divorce rate of about 50%. Maybe you should work on that, first?
"They can't have children"
Neither can a lot of straight people - you let them get married, though.

It should be legal, but it must happen if and when legislatures and/or voters make it legal. Not when courts misinterpret the already existing law, such as what happened in Massachusetts. No court should ever again do what the Massachusetts Court did. Legislatures and/or voters should make it legal. Not courts.
