That just means how do feminist/queer/postmodern (whichever you choose) write about gay marriage and how do they feel about how the mainstream or other media outlets portray gay marriage.a discussion of the different ways the issue is represiented in the media from the point of view of the perspectives chosen (wha...?)
I would go with queer/lesbian and feminist theorists. Most lesbian theorists will incorporate some aspects of feminist theory, at the very least so it's less reading at short notice if you're not familiar with your stuff.
The first step would be to find literature from prominent feminist/queer theorists about how the mainstream media portrays same sex marriage. Do you have access to your university library? I probably have some relevant articles here in my computer, if you like. Just PM me.
Obviously, the majority of queer media is going to be sympathetic to the gay marriage issue. Feminist media and theory is usually very left leaning too, so I think you'd be hard put to find many feminist theorists writing against gay marriage.
I can link you to queer media outlets and feminist media outlets, if you like. Google The Scavenger online magazine, for one (it's both).
