Rule: The purpose of Marriage is to make babies
Exception: none
If you reject that rule, I don't see how you have any rational objection to gay marriage. Whether they can have babies in principal or not, you ignore the issue that people don't get married to make babies.
I do eject that rule, that has never been my position. I say marriage is defined in part not only as a union open to to procreation of offspring in principal. Any union not open to procreation in principal is therefore not a marriage. Infertile couples (male/female) are still in principal procreative even if not in actuality.
So why not same sex marriage?? Not EVERY Male/Female "marriage" is "procreative" so why not same sex marriage?
What is being fought for here is the LEGAL ramifications not the religious ones. I think that same sex marriage SHOULD be recognised under law just as De-Facto/ Common Law marriage is recognised under law.
I am thinking you are just being elitist Crotch
