The problem is not with Protestantism; the problem is with Hegelianism, Romanticism, socialism, and progressivism. The Protestant denominations that have stuck to sola fide and sola scriptura, such as the PCA and ARP with Presbyterians, LCMS and WELS with Lutherans, and the Southern Baptist Convention, Wesleyans, Assemblies of God, Word of Faith, and Church of God in Christ, have not succumbed to the devolution of doctrine or practice.

It would be interesting to hear from the 30,000-40,000 different Protestant denominations (Google) on what their stand is on same-sex marriages.

The Catholic Church puts that number of different Protestant denomiations at 30,000; the Protestants themselves say there are 40,000 different denominations. Google it yourself; it's an interesting read.

There are all sorts of forbidden unions. If THIS forbidden union is allowed WHAT would be next? Brothers-sisters? Fathers-daughters? Humans-animals? Multi-inner family unions?

I always thought that the Bible was pretty clear about ONE man and ONE woman.
LORD help us, Catholics, ALL Protestant denominations and all other God-fearing people.

You DID nail it: devolution of doctrine/practice.

and ironically, your very post notes 11 fractionated denominations of christianity, thank goodness they have adhered to Christ’s prayer in the garden, to REMAIN AS ONE.

Exactly! Thanks for saying so. It's when people LEAVE the truth of God's word and its authority OVER all Christians, that they are open to relativism. Even the Roman Catholic church, which likes to pronounce it alone, above everyone else still holds to the ancient faith, continues to present a leadership that is like the white walled sepulchers Jesus condemned in the religious leaders of that time and which spills over to its members who reflect that same hypocrisy:

"You blind Pharisees, first clean the inside of the cup and of the dish, so that the outside of it may become clean also. "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness. "So you, too, outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness. (Matt. 23:26-28)

It is sola Scriptura and sola fide which truly is the remedy for secular infiltration of denominations, because it is ONLY through faith that God's grace is given to us and it is a faith that perseveres in spite of all that the evil world throws at it.

Not true, the Baptists are ordaining women and celebrating same sex unions. 60 minutes had a piece about a woman suing her Baptist congregation over this. In 25 years or less the Catholic Church will be the only one standing against gay "marriage."
