How is that supposed to work if same sex marriage is said to have no impact whatsoever upon heterosexual marriage? Also, don't forget that females can use artificial insemination to have children.

Likely it would be said that the ability to procreate and bring about the next generation along with the benefits of the child having a male and a female parent.

Perhaps, but it would seem that both sides can cite studies and examples which support their position.
Quote:Religious liberties? Same Sex marriages are not forcing religious heterosexuals to turn into homosexuals. The USA is found on a religious free government. No one is forcing them to leave their religion. Religion should not hold any power over the government. The government guarantees their ability to practice their religion peacefully as long it does not interferes or harms others.
The fear they have with respect to religious liberty is that it would eventually turn into the state forcing churches to perform same sex marriage in spite of they being opposed to it, declaring opposition to same sex marriage and hate speech, etc.
