What of my near elderly wife and eligible for SS self? We had children before our union, but now cannot have them and wouldn’t if we could. Is our relationship not a marriage?

The natural law definition of marriage is: the lasting union of a man and a woman who agree to give and receive rights over each other for the performance of the act of generation and for the fostering of their mutual love.

Why the above definition necessarily excludes sodomite couples is that they are incapable of performing the "act of generation." (Even if all the plumbing worked properly, what they do with each other is incapable of producing progeny) An infertile heterosexual couple is fully capable of performing the "act of generation" even if they are putatively infertile.

Logical, and I agree. The commentary made it seem like a marriage can never be unless children result.

That wasn't the definition that James Schall used. Maybe you should correct him?

Homosexuals have redundant sex organs. They weren’t designed from birth to ever be able to mate with each other. A marriage between them is absurd.

Even animals know this. I have never seen two male cardinals trying to tend a nest after they chased away the female who laid the eggs. That is the only option gay males have when they want a kid. They steal birth rights. Lesbians are just as bad in denying the child a father. There is plenty of anger among the adult children who were raised by homosexuals, but the gay mafia is doing its best to silence them by whatever means necessary.

If you want to know of others who also have the courage that Kim Davis has shown, look up Dawn Stephanowicz, Denise Shick, Robert Oscar Lopez, B.N. Klein (aka Rivka Edelman), Katy Faust and Heather Barwick. They submitted amicus briefs to the Supreme Court before its decision, for all the good it did. I have never seen these COG’s (Children of Gays) interviewed on Fox News. Because of their courage, the gay lobby is actively trying to ruin them.
