The argument against gay marriage is that 2 people of the same sex cannot procreate. Therefore, they should not be allowed to be married. So, I ask: should two people of opposite sex be allowed to be married if they are unable to procreate? (say, if one of them is sterile)
What's the difference (non-religious) between a heterosexual couple and a homosexual couple being married if neither is going to procreate?
Marriage gives 2 people, who love each other, legal rights that non-marriage couples do not have. It also gives them more rights, under the law, than couples in a civil union. If my neighbors are gay and married, it does not have any affect on the validation of my heterosexual marriage. My husband I cannot have children, but value the legal benefits allowed under our marriage and believe that others deserve the same legal rights.
Why do people have a problem with this when there is a seperation of church and state?
