I mean it is a legal right created by government unlike human rights
One can argue that being treated equally is a natural desire of all people and thereby falls under human rights. You're looking at this in a contextual void. It's not just about government recognition, it's about equality because some can already marry.
I see it as such:
"Recognize my marriage" is a civil rights issue.
"Recognize me the same as others" is a human rights issue.
