Of course I agree.

I was pointing out that children are not the ONLY reason the state has an interest in marriage.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

I see. Well, while there may be other benefits to society in recognizing it, the core reason is about children, whether or not all heterosexual unions produce children. It is irrelevant that every heterosexual union does not produce children. The important thing is that every child comes from these unions, AND ONLY THESE UNIONS. Minus mom and dad, children become the responsibility of government. That is HUGH AND SERIES.
