The name matrimonium with its root mater (mother) shows the principle objective of the institution, the creation of children.
And some facilitate that warp by using their words like “gay” or hyphenated race/ethnicity labeling. Stop using gay and other words that they have hijacked to push their agenda. Call a spade a spade and a queer a queer, or a deviant etc...
I didn’t know what the word “matrimony” meant until someone explained to me that it isn’t a word; it’s a sentence.
Hat tip to “The Bickersons.”

Excellent.
And “fetus” means baby.
Since marriages have always been subject to annulment if never consummated by a procreational act (that is a normal sexual act), there are various ways that States can fight back against the Supreme Court ruling, forcing additional litigation of the ultimate issue.
Let me just suggest one course, and appeal to the imagination of the wise folk here at Free Republic.
It is common in many marriage ceremonies, to offer a chance for someone to object to a marriage, or forever hold their peace. Well, what about a State law, calling for a public ombudsman with power to legally challenge any would be married couple, on the basis of a suspicion that they were simply unable to consummate a marriage. (Obviously if the couple are in their late teens or twenties, there would be no challenge, unless they were known to lack the necessary genitalia for normal sexuality.)
This approach would have an obvious intent, of course. But it would still focus attention on the actual circumstances of a case, rather than the simple word game around the meaningless term (when you are actually dealing with biology) of "equality." (All couples are not equally suited to the mating process, as understood throughout human history.)
Exactly.
The institution of marriage evolved because of the need to protect children until they become self-sufficient. The legal framework surrounding marriage deals with inheritances, ensuring that those children are provided for in the event of the death of one or both parents, and that wealth stays in the family.
Sorry, homosexuals, marriage is not and never was about getting a certificate to officially sanction a sexual relationship. (Not that that consideration was behind the push towards "same-sex marriage"--one major motivation was to get what they perceive as financial benefits that married people have.)
mater? It does not matter

The word “marriage” comes from the first recorded wedding at the city of MARI in Mesopotamia on a clay cuneiform tablet. It comes down thru the Arabic to the French as “mari” [husband] and Spanish as Marido [husband].
