Except the goal of this kind of behavior is not actual change but proving to the world you are "morally superior" by your chosen system of morality.

Would you say the same about people joining picket lines and marches? Any sort of peaceful protest?
Also, you're projecting. You don't (and can't) know what a person's true goals are. Framing these actions as them communicating they are morally superior to someone (you?) is a thought in that other person's head, not the protestors. Maybe these straight people truly believe this form of protest (not getting married) will bring attention to a cause and maybe change some people's minds. Did it? Who knows. But good on them for at least trying.
