Oh, and incidentally? "No, you are!" isn't an argument.
Esquilax, I rejected your arguments because they were unconvincing...and often downright irrelevant.
That's odd.

The union of young child bearing couples has more value to a society/population than the union of a couple who are past their child bearing years. A thought experiment is all that is needed to prove this. Imagine if all couples were transformed into old couples who are past their child bearing years.....it would be a catastrophe. Now imagine if all couples were transformed into younger couples within their child bearing years....society/population wouldn't miss a beat.
The state may want to incentivize the union of young couples and not incentivize the union of old. A rational argument can be made to ban old people marriage. This might not be a good thing to do....but that is besides to point. The action has a rational basis for it. The judge claimed there was no rational reason to ban gay marriage....which is silly...rational reasons are a dime a dozen.
Because you don't seem to have advanced any "rational arguments" other than presenting marriage as a state-incentivized baby-farm, which is not at all compelling, convincing, or relevant.
