Honestly, I don't think they should tell people to shut up, because we can use all the support for marriage equality that we can get. On the other hand, I do think people should point out that going to that kind of rally and making a sign about how gay marriage should be legalized so your OTP can marry is fucking ridiculous. Fiction can be a powerful tool for influencing people's opinions and making them more open minded, but at the end of the day, these people are rallying for rights for real life, actual people. Saying that you want marriage equality so that a fictional couple that the ruling realistically does not affect their ability to get married is kind of idiotic. Well intentioned for most, I think, but still idiotic. Also kind of hurtful, since it implies that the person cares more about a fictional couple than actual people who are having their rights denied.

Most people with those signs probably don't realize that's what they're implying, so people pointing out to them that it comes across in that way isn't a bad thing. If they're really supportive of actual marriage equality, I don't think they'll quit supporting it just because someone pointed out that their methods are a bit misguided.
