Are you also against marriage for straight people who are sterile, in the name of biology? Not everyone who gets married would be interested in becoming a family, I'm not sure I want kids, that doesn't mean I shouldn't be allowed to marry.
Marriage is not about reproduction, nor is it a religious issue or a political issue; it is a personal issue.
You may keep your opinions and posture all you want but don't expect much understanding for it. Calling christians in the west a persecuted group is hugely disrespectful and overly dramatic in comparison with groups who are actually persecuted in this world. The US is among the only nations where it's practically impossible to become a president unless you're religious, if anyone is persecuted there, it would be non-religious citizens who keep being slapped across the hands and face with ridiculous restrictions, laws and morally patronizing acts with religious motives, backing and origins.
Almost everything is the exact opposite of how you're describing it.
If I were to tell the Syrian kid at work who fled the war and had his family killed by IS that you feel persecuted, he would probably stare at me in open-eyed amazement, understandably so.
PS: Devolving the human race into a fleshy vessel of biological instinct and duties is immensely backwards and goes against most philosophical and moral progress we've made for centuries.
