This seems like a necessary next step in the iconoclasm of western civilization. Like all social and cultural norms of our era, marriage must be called into question. We (society) will question its value and determine whether or not its purported value still exists. I think it does, but the only way to really convince most people is to remove it and see what that does to society. The same goes for gender, democracy, religion, and other structures we take for granted in the modern world. They will first be destroyed, then either rebuilt with greater purity or discarded altogether. These changes may be harsh, damaging, or even violent, but that's the course we've all chosen (not me personally, but the modern world in general). These changes will happen, so I am not surprised to see these results.
