The two homos are NOT the parents.
Says you. As I said, by any rational standard, the people that raise a child are the child's parents. Adoptive parents who raise children they never sired nor bore are those children's parents.
You disagree. So what?
Marriage was intended as an aid in procreation as I pointed out in my post's last line.
Whatever it was 'intended' as, its not longer about procreation. There are millions of people that get married and never have kids. There are millions of people that can't have kids that are allowed to remain married. Infertile couples can marry just as easily as the fertile ones. Nor is there any law in any state that requires that a couple be able to have children before they can marry.
Demonstrating elegantly that there is obviously a valid basis of marriage that has nothing to do with children or the ability to have them. So your basis of excluding gays is non-existent.
As for kids being raised in non-nuclear families and the social ills that have increased with the increased incidence of that condition, you need to pay attention and progress a little. Your thinking is out of date.
The studies I'm citing are as current as last month. And the overwhelming consensus of these studies is that children raised by same sex parents are fine.
Ignore as you will. Just don't expect the courts to.
Increased incidence of unstructured families leads to social demise. Look at the crime and failing schools. No studies necessary.
You cited 'empiracal demonstration' as your standard. When your claims are empiraclly tested and found to be blithering idiocy, you ignore your own standard.
Children of gays and lesbians are fine. That you refuse to accept this is meaningless. As you're nobody in this equation.
And you're just rationalizing your way all the way back to my original question; why should the rest of us be coerced by the government to subsidize male-on-male buttfucking?
Marriage isn't about sex. So the entire premise of your question is invalid.
We've been through this. If you're just going to ignore any answer to your question, why bother asking it? The only difference between not asking and asking and ignoring is that your ignorance is willful in the latter instance.
And why should children be denied the natural right to be raised by their actual parents?
Who says they are? If a straight couple goes to a sperm bank for IVF, do you rant about how their child will be deprived of its natural rights?
Of course not.
If a straight couple adopts an child, do you rant about their child will be deprived of its natural rights?
Again, no.
You only have an issue when the parents are gay or lesbian. Demonstrating you could give a shit about children or their natural rights. Children are nothing but a horse for your ride in your argument against gays. Which is quite awful.
