If homosexuality is, in fact, a human construct (which is very debatable), that doesn't justify it as immoral in and of itself.
Furthermore, human population has had unchecked rise since the bubonic plague, so our survival as a species has nothing to do with this. If anything, we need less people reproducing.
Beyond that, there are several examples of animals engaging in homosexual activity. Though there isn't any genetic marker of homosexuality at this point, there is plenty of empirical evidence that suggests there may be biological causes. So it may not be as "unnatural" as some believe.
To me, that's all irrelevant. There are gay people in the world. They exist. Who cares if they get married? This strikes me as one of those issues that, in 50 years, people will be scratching their heads about why this was an issue at all. Gay marriage legalization is inevitable, I don't see why people get all twisted about it.

i agree with you for the most part
but every single things humans do is NATURAL
nothing we do is unnatural. we are of this planet. me typing this on a computer, and you guys reading it off of computers or phones miles away is as natural as a huge termite mound in africa. a paved road is natural. the same way ants can carve a trail in the dirt and build underground mega cities.
everything is natural.
