Maybe you're right. But some have argued that the Roman empire fell because Christians stopped caring about the public order and devoted themselves exclusively to their own salvation. That's an oversimplistic explanation -- there certainly were other and more important reasons. It may also be that Rome deserved to fall, and that Christians ought to have put salvation first. And perhaps gay marriage isn't a "fall of Western civilization" issue.

But individual actions do have an effect on larger institutions and on society as a whole. If you want to do good, that may involve taking an interest in what happens to the institutions, including government, that protect order.

This seems to be the way things work: Christians do generally withdraw from public life, until the point comes when things get so muddled, that they reenter the public and political spheres in the hopes of making sense of things, saving what can be saved, and doing some good. Hopefully they act in time. Eventually political action doesn't fulfill the hopes they have, and they retreat again.

This may not be the right issue or the right time to get activist. But Christians have gotten involved in politics in the past, and when the stakes are high, will do so again in the future.
