Making kids is too fucking important and it is somehow detrimental to the couples who do make kids if the couples who don't make kids have a legally recognized relationship.
From a societal stand point there relationships are indeed worth less due to the lack of the ability to provide future citizenry.
It my understanding the same sex plaintiffs in Obergefell V. Hodges claim denying them the benefits of marriage cause them material harm. As such it may be said marriage confers upon that couple a material gain which deprives other couples or non-married persons of that which they subsequently gain. Allocating resources to promote and support the procreation of children to those who do not have or do not support children results in as cognizable harm and loss of resources to those couples. Providing to couples a material gain from the general public results in a cognizable burden and harm of the general public, however, such burden and harm should be endured by the public when said coupling shall or may confer upon the public a social benefit, which would not be facilitated without their coupling. Aka offspring.

As you may or may not realize our survival isn't based solely on making kids. The basis of our continued existence is cooperation.
The survival of a single generation is not based solely on making kids or necessarily cooperation, though cooperation does not generally hurt. The survival of our species (which is taken to last many generations) is quintessentially dependent upon us having kids, cooperation not withstanding.
