However, in the long run, we can decide through our subtle social ethos, to encourage or discourage this behavior. Why should it be encouraged? What makes gayness good for our society?
I dont support gay marriage because I'm trying to encourage gay behavior or because I think gayness is good for society. I think its neutral. I support it because I dont want my fellow human being feeling like less of a person due to their benign sexual proclivities. I think they deserve the same rights and privileges as me. If an individuals sexual proclivities are destructive (for example pedophilia) then it should not be encouraged. In your opinion is homosexual behavior bad for society ?

I don't necessarily think it is. I think there are certain factors to consider - inhibiting population growth, disease and health, and of course the highly lambasted slippery slope argument - more things that were once considered depraved become acceptable. Overall I think these things can be mitigated and addressed. I don't really know.
Really I just want us to all have this discussion, the real actual social-scientific discussion instead of the vitriol and simplistic hogwash regarding humanity that dominates both sides.

Literally the only reason for somebody to oppose gay marriage is because of religious beliefs.
And it's almost undeniable that religious beliefs have caused more conflict and chaos throughout the past 2000 years than anything else. So it's not like "Religion" is this shining catch-all of moral high ground.
