There will always be people who are upset, no matter what someone does or how they go about it. You cannot please everyone, and this is just another example of that. I can certainly understand why those who oppose same-sex marriage (and by this, I mean members of the queer community who oppose it) would be annoyed, and even if I don't quite agree with them, they certainly have a right to express their frustration.
Personally, I really love what I've heard of Macklemore (and Ryan Lewis, I should add), and already was by the time I heard Same Love. I can't say I ever imagined I'd hear a hip-hop or rap song that was promoting marriage equality, and I find the song incredibly moving.
It's funny, he touches on something similar to this whole issue in another song, A Wake, although the issue is race rather than marriage equality. He's well aware that others might take offense to anything he has to say on the subject of race because it's not "his" problem, and doesn't affect him directly. So I can only assume he's aware of the same possibility when it comes to talking about queer rights.
