That's odd.

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.
Sorry Rampant, your arguments and your thinking are about as bad as Esquilax's.
Rasetsu, Chuck, Alex K, Cthulhu Dreaming, make tough arguments. I'm sure there are others, but those 4 come to mind as being the brightest around here.
