It isn't necessary as gift-giving is always from the heart of the giver and never required, but if you like these people and you would have brought a gift if you had been able to attend, then you should send one.
I can't make it to a wedding in May and I'm absolutely still getting them a gift.

yes i would still give a gift. you have to think about why you're giving a gift. you're not giving a gift because you're going to their wedding. you're giving a gift to them to celebrate their marriage.
I would still send a gift - to express your good wishes for the couple and your appreciation of the invitation.
i'm probably in the minority here but i would say this depends on your personal relationship with the couple. if you are close to them and would like to send them a gift to congratulate and celebrate, then by all means go ahead. if you don't feel all that close to them, you should not feel compelled to send a gift.
think of it this way...do you send a gift for every party that you miss, such as birthday celebrations, housewarmings, dinner parties, showers, etc.? i don't think the rule of thumb should be that you have to send a gift. it's totally up to you and how close you are with the couple.

You need to send a gift. It doesn't need to be a large gift by any means, but etiquette wise- if you are invited to a wedding, you need to send a gift. Again, it can be very small but definitely send something.
Ettiquette states that you send a gift if you're invited, regardless if you attend or not. You are not obliged to give a gift if you're sent an "announcement" after the wedding has occurred.

I was invited to a wedding of a family friend and we (FI and I) are not going to make it. I already RSVP'd that we are not coming. My question is, do I still send a gift?
