Why is endorsing gay marriage/civil unions bad?

A government granting homosexuals the right to legally marry or have civil unions is not against the bible for no prohibition of this can be found in its pages.

I'd say that this is naive of the meaning of marriage,
as the Bible is pretty clear at "a man and a woman."
I mean, there is no prohibition against pigs flying, either.

I have no problem with biblical marriage being defined as being between a man and a woman if that's what a church believes. The question isn't about what biblical marriage is. The question is about what legal marriage.
