Invalidating the rule means proving that the rule is wrong. The incorrect rule is applicable if and only if the correct one is not available. In case of marriage, the correct one is applicable and in fact applied and yet you continue to use the outdated and wrong one. Your rule has both been invalidated and discarded.
I think you're confusing the issue of marriage with procreation. The general rule we are discussing is the procreative nature of male-female unions.

What is the correct rule then regarding male-female procreation if the general rule that they ARE procreative is no longer valid?
This is so simple, male-female unions in principal are procreative same sex unions are not. Any fool can see the truth in that. Exceptions do not change that. An infertile woman does not alter the general rule that male-female unions are procreative, simple.
You can bandy semantics around all you like.
The simple fact is that outside of your bible you have not one valid objection to same sex marriage, not one.
And as a source of guidance on anything the bible sucks bigtime.
