because these relationships are of no value to society at large.

No value to you or me but value to them obviously. I’m not pushing gay marriage at all but I don’t see it as a threat to other relationships or to society either. I see lots of valueless domestic situations even within some families over the years. For me I’m happy with my family, my kids, my grandkids and my way of life and wouldn’t trade it for anything but I just don’t see the threat from those who live different lives as long as they are not harming anyone.

Gay marriage does indeed affect the rest of society.
After gay marriage was instituted in Mass., gay-positive education was mandated for K-12, and it appears not to matter if parents object.
Also, what about health benefits payable to an HIV/AIDS infected spouse? I’m not saying that we should not be compassionate towards the sick, but we’re talking about small businesses suddenly having to pay much larger premiums for worker health insurance.
I’m sure that other people here can think of other examples of the affect of gay marriage. You’re just thinking of gay marriage not interfering with your everyday life, but there’s more to it than that. Just as it took 30 years for us to understand that no-fault divorce was harmful to children, so it will also take time for the results of this experiment to become apparent.
