Your arguments don't, IMO, justify prohibiting it.
"Most married couples want children."
I asked about those who don't want children. You didn't answer. Should they be prohibited from marrying?
"Infertile couples can adopt."
Gay couples can adopt.
Absolutely not; the decision is up to the couple. If a couple decides to not have any children, this in no way justifies 2 people of the same sex getting married.
The Lawsuits will be piling up. When children grow up in homes where they were adopted by Gay Couples, when they are old enough to ponder what happened to them as a baby, they will be looking for an Attorney. We have enough problems with children going to homes where there are Male and Female Couples.
Remember, I was adopted and know exactly what questions arise when adopted children become adults.

So you would not prohibit straight couples from marrying if they don't intend to have children. And you would not prohibit infertile straight couples from marrying. But you would prohibit gay couples from marrying. And you think this makes sense. OK, got it.

I agree with you morally. But we're talking about using the police power of GOVERNMENT to police people's private life choices. My wife left me about three years ago and I've been told that if I remarry I'd be in sin. Of course, that is only one man's interpretation of the texts.
Do you really think that our GOVERNMENT should adopt that man's interpretation of the texts and ban me from remarriage???
Or do I as a sovereign citizen of a free nation have the sovereign right to marry whomever I choose regardless of what some church might think???

That wasn't my question NotforSale. I'll repeat it for the hard-of-reading.

NotforSale... please answer my questions. Then, I'll gladly answer your questions.
And Man+Woman=Nothing, in the cases I mentioned. But you don't want to keep them from marrying. And this makes sense, because........?
Not true. Even though a Man and Woman decide not to have children before getting married, they may change their mind. Also, if they adopt, the Natural Balance is there.

No, it is true, in the cases I mentioned. Man+Woman=Nothing. If some change their minds, fine. Not all will. If infertile couples adopt, great. Gay couples can adopt, too. There is still no logic to be found in your stand, unless you also bar infertile couples from marrying, and bar fertile couple from marrying who don't intend to have children -- unless and until they change their minds, I suppose.
