How is the "no one is harmed" a viable argument for right/wrong?
Okay, you know I normally let others argue with you. But I just have to ask this: What, exactly, is your definition of right and wrong? And where does it come from?
...and those neanderthals who think it is sick will be castigated and laughed at for being so backwards.
The views on morality will "evolve" and "progress" to the point where it will be wrong to deny the love of two people, one of whom will be a child.
Conservatives will be seen as bigots who would deny men, women and children the right to express their love.
There will be nationwide celebrations as each state makes adult-child marriage legal. And the people who are deeply offended by what they call a gross and inappropriate act will be shunned by a "progressive, modern society" that will be touted in the mass media.
Mark my words.
The crazy lengths people go to try and stop consenting adults. It is funny seeing the desperation coming from the gay haters, they just can't stand it so they are trying to say anything to stop it.
As no one has ever answered, How will two gay guys marrying each other harm you, your family and your marriage? Not generalities like "fabric of society", etc but YOU specifically, walk me through the harm?

My definition of right/wrong comes from God. Do you have one? If so, where does it come from? If it's not God, how is your source superior?
Actually the next battleground will be the churches that refuse to knuckle under and perform same-sex marriages. Their tax-exempt status will be threatened in an attempt to coerce them to surrender to the gay agenda.
I don't think so. If that were gonna happen, it would have happened with the Catholic Church refusing to marry anyone not a member of their church or members of the church who for whatever reason the church disapproved of the coupling. It would have happened with the first church that refused to marry an interracial couple after the loving v virginia decision 40+ years ago.

I don't put it past the gay activists to specifically target churches in that manner.

They don't want to, they never have, they never will, and they couldn't effectively do it even if they wanted to (we have a Constitution with a 1st Amendment).
Churches can, and have always been able to, define a church or religious marriage however they want.
A church can and always will be able to only recognize marriage as between one man and one women. A church can and always will be able to only recognize same sex marriages if it wants. A church could marry every single member to every other member in a giant web of polygamy if it wanted to. A church could marry a chicken to a desk to Bill the postman if it wanted to ordain that strange threesome.
Any government attempt to regulate religious marriages within churches would be a violation of the 1st Amendment of our Constitution.

I agree that in some ways we are regressing.
You think it will take as long as 40 years to reverse our social conditioning?
Over a billion people on the planet disagree with you.

All morality is subjective.
Even yours.
