Really?
Gay marriage may be among the least damaging effects of our efforts to separate of our sexuality from its primary biological function. Or it may be far more damaging than we understand. Perhaps both of these are true at the same time. But here are some other serious results of that trend: broken families, rape culture, sexual abuse, STD epidemic, single parenthood, emotionally broken children who grow into emotionally stunted adults, increased poverty and crime (in prison, Mother's Day is the most difficult day to use the phone; Father's Day is just another day), pornography addiction, other sexual addiction, prostitution, sex trafficking, abortion, etc.
When compared against this list, it's easy to understand why proponents of allowing gay couples to marry insist that they aren't hurting anyone.
(It is no coincidence that so many items on the list above could also be listed as effects of drug addiction, as the neurotransmitters engaged in our sexuality are as powerful as many artificial addictive substances, and they are commonly engaged both in sexual activity and drug use.)
In a world with 7+ billion people, I can understand why some might argue that sexuality and procreation shouldn't necessarily have anything to do with each other.
