If it were about reproduction, you would have to ban marriage for the sterile. What if one person in a marriage is sterile? You are robbing our society of a fertile person. You can't have that!! You'd also have to put restrictions on birth control, ban vasectomies, etc. These things would have to be written into the laws if reproduction was the issue.
Of course, it's not, so no such rules are in place. The only thing left is disagreeing with the combination of genitals in a particular marriage. I think you can see how ridiculous it sounds to deny someone the right to marriage based on that.
