Campaign Finance Reform.
It's like, the main obstacle preventing all other issues from being addressed.

military campaigns and expenditures - why are both so goddamn huge? not even huge, they're fucking grossly obese
coming in the rear
the federal reserve - this fiat currency is going to bite us in the ass, and when it does it won't be a simple peck and a small bit taken, it's going to take the whole thing off, both butt cheeks and all

Pretty much.
As long as corruption and plutocracy are not addressed, nobody will have the means necessary to work on any other issue, because elected politicians will just do what their donors tell them to do. This is the root issue that precedes all other issues. Economy, social issues, education, foreign policy, civil rights, environmental issues, all of that won't be properly addressed before the problem of corruption is not fixed.

Besides the right to marry, what else is there?
I think it would have to be economic health and the promotion of socially responsible business practices.
I would think that could cover most.
But choosing a single issue is always tough.
Like I'm a registered democrat but the Democrats support for the MPAA and their push for a more regulated internet combined with data caps ultimately will hurt the nation.
Politicians may vote party lines now but a good leader will vote for what he views as best for his district/nation.

climate change. not just because I care about it specifically (which I obviously do) but it says a lot about a candidate to me if they are either in the pocket of big business or oil companies, or have zero understanding or respect for science. either way, that's not a candidate I want in charge of the country.
global warming is real. predictions scientists made are coming true all around us... and still so many politicians claim it isn't happening. I need a politician to be able to react to reality even if reality contradicts their ideology or religious beliefs.

Tough call.
Gerrymandering/redistricting or anti-corruption. That's probably the most I can narrow it down.

You can be fired for being gay or transgender in every state on that map that is white. You can also be fired for being transgender in the states that are lime green.
We need a federal ENDA law. I would argue that it is even more important than marriage equality.

just curious, but how does that compare to being fired for race or any other discriminatory factors?

Race, Age, Sex, Nationality, and Religion are all protected classes under the Civil Rights act of 1964. Its against federal law to fire someone for any of those reasons. No such federal protections exist for sexual orientation or gender identity, however.

There's also the issue of California being the only state to outlaw gay and trans panic defenses and so, so, so much more.

Enough funding for free high quality education for everyone, and i mean everyone
(even the immigrants). Let the people that want to do it, take their chances and not be in debt for the next 5~10 years because of a mistake.
ps: I'm from the Netherlands.

Forgiving student loan debt and socializing higher education.

i guess i'm not really understanding why all of those things are included when you see stuff about State/local-level equality amendments.
Like, the one in Texas that got overturned recently listed all of those things in addition to gender. A State doesn't necessarily enforce federal law all of the time, so i think that's the point of asking.

American manufacturing hands down. If we start making things again how they should be made instead of just outsourcing them to places that can make it cheaper, everything will fall into place. NAFTA was brutal to this country.
Election Reform.
I hate to be dismissive but anything other then it is setting yourself up for a high probability of a less then ideal outcome for your particular cause....Unless your ideal is something the current corruption of the system is benefitting form.
Election reform encompasses things like campaign finance, gerrymandering and voting laws. Each of those are crucial in terms of why we have such a polarized, ineffective, skewed system that is failing to live up to its ideals of effective representative governance.
