In the eyes of the Law, they are supposed to be.
Wrong again. heterosexuality has the possibility of producing offspring. There is no such possibility with homosexuality. So where's the equivalence?
You need to tell my daughter that she doesn't exist yet....or the thousands of children of gay couples thruout the U.S.
And are you going to tell us that couples (like elderly couples) should not be allowed to marry because there is no "possibility"?
You need to be consistant.......no, scratch back, you can be as inconsistant as you want to be....it is the Law that needs to be consistant.
Marriage is not about childbearing and childbearing is not required in any way.
Childbearing is not about Marriage and Marriage is not required in any way.
Therefore your argument is inconsistant.
You are right. Marriage and even family has less and less connection to child bearing or even child rearing. That obligation has largely been transferred to the government as the primary family provider. Having nothing to do with marriage at all.
