Your examples suck. I do not see the legal binding between the relationship of two consenting and loving adults as being a perversion or as being deprimental to society(in fact quite the opposite).

You don't, obviously. Others do. The examples (which you didn't answer) are relevant to what is and isn't a perversion/detrimental and how we decide it. I don't see how you can be against any of the things listed if you're for gay marriage. Animals can indeed "consent" and enjoy sex and seek mating opportunities. Many 15yos are as capable of giving consent as an 18yo "adult". Who are you to restrict their freedom? And prostitution is the very definition of a willing adult transaction.

I like the way you're using the word "discourage" instead of "forcably prevented against their will" to soften it.

prevented? They can do whatever they like. It's up to society whether or not they recognize the union of man and man. No is being forcibly prevented from anything - in fact gays pushing marriage is an attempt to force social validity for their abnormal preferences, by hijacking a traditional means of recognizing the union of a man and woman.
