You just can't step out of your own head for one goddamn second, even if it's just to consider the possibility that some of us don't find your arguments compelling.
Your argument is essentially this:
Homosexual marriages are equal to heterosexual marriage because in this day and age procreation is not a purpose of marriage.
You are the one making the special pleading. You are citing this day and age as an exemption without justifying it.
Our population...our society...depends on heterosexual unions. This day and age is not an exemption. Our population....our society...does not depend on homosexual unions. It never has and I don't see how it ever will. Homosexual unions are not equivalent to heterosexual unions and that is a rational reason for the people of Arkansas to vote not to give it the same status. The judge's argument was wrong.
1.People don't need to get married to reproduce
2.Even if we were to agree that Homosexual marriage doesn't contribute to society it isn't harming it either therefore no reason to deny it.
3.Last I check we have a over population problem homosexuality helps that problem.
