365gay.com News, a source I use often, has chosen its top gay news story of 2005. According to the article, the news group had over 4,000 news pieces to choose from and finally decided on California's marriage equality legislation. According to the article:

The year began with the after effects of the tsunami on the LGBT communities of the Pacific and ended with same-sex civil partnerships in Britain. In between there was Katrina, wins and losses for gay parents and a new bid to pass hate crimes legislation in Congress. But one event stood out among all the stories - passage of same-sex marriage legislation in California, the first time any state legislature had made blanket support for gay marriage.
