A society with very little objectification.
Because sometimes even national leaders just want to hang out

If results are all that matters, which is a better result - a happy couple, content with their lot in life, going through life in a way that seems acceptable to them,
OR
A couple who sits and meticulously quantifies everything (even the quantifying of the quantification) until they are angry, miserable, arguing, and eventually, broken up and miserable?

Just because you think the same about straight people, does not mean you are not the textbook definition of a homophobe.
You are calling them immoral because of their sexual attraction

That is the most idiotic thing I've ever read in my life.
Homophobia is about SPECIFIC DISCRIMINATION against homosexuals.

How can there be sexual objectification, in any real sense, when there's little sexuality to begin with. Surely sexual objectification is a proper subset of sexual attraction.

Are we supposed to be assuming that 'attraction' and 'objectification' are inherently bad? I'm missing what exactly I'm supposed to be identifying as the controversy.

I dunno. He seems to think that being attracted to someone is evil, or something.
He won't actually address the fact that his premise is what is under attack, and keeps talking about solutions based upon the premise "attraction is bad" without actually addressing the premise, which is, in of itself, faulty.

A couple which is happy but not equal is not a worthy result. It simply reinforces and justifies the existence of power asymmetries.
