The same could be said of any of the sexual deviant urges. And not all heterosexual relationships pass the functionality test if that's your criteria.
And I would contend that to change the societal recognition of the only union that has purpose and reason for our species and nearly every complex species of anything on this planet to include an union that is essentially null and void to anything and serves absolutely no natural purpose IS an affront to human intelligence. | Did you seriously liken homosexuality to retardation? I hate to tell you this, but retards (for the most part) are natural too. No one chose to be a retard.
I suspect that when you say dysfunctional you are reffering to the fact that homosexuals cannot bear their own children? Does that mean you want to redefine marriage as an institution for the sole purpose of bearing children? If that's the case, I can't get married either, and I am straight as they come, but I don't want kids.
Finally, to call it "the only union that has purpose and reason" is ridiculous. It's rhetorical nonsense. All unions have a purpose, otherwise they would not exist, and most of those purposes are really quite reasonable. I would say the employee-employer union has just as much purpose and reason. You are really being overly dramatic here.
Marriage isn't some natural thing that our species depends on to survive. It is an abstract social construct. And as such it is open to be modified by the society which it serves.
