Yeah, it's definitely not something that is being universally celebrated by LGBTQ community, and what you've stated above is an example of some of their concerns. Certainly among my more "anarcho-queer" acquaintances there has been much more vitriol spewed towards SSM legalization than jubilation. There has also been criticism that the SSM movement has actually done more to further marginalize struggles of the trans community, as well as queer and trans people of colour.
That said, I still think denying people the choice to get married based on their sexual orientation is blatant discrimination that has no place in a civilized society.
