I don't know what to do. The fact is that a lot of gay men are on a spectrum of degeneracy. Sure, my husband and I conform to the suited-Mormon-saint image (well OK maybe flannel shirts and not suits) and we conspicuously avoid monkeypox orgies ... but I can think of only a handful of other gay male couples who are monogamous (I mean really monogamous and not just pretending to be to the outer world). A lot of even same-sex-married gay men are still scrolling through Grindr, Scruff, and other apps I have never even heard of. I think it's not unlikely that the bad optics will lead to a momentous pendulum swing back to the right.

I remember a few gay men speaking out against gay marriage when the laws were going through for exactly this reason. Gay men simply don't lead the same lifestyle as straight people so shouldn't force themselves to fit into straight people's social institutions. Maybe civil partnerships were the best ways forward after all.
