Limiting marriage to the concept of procreation went out a long, long time ago. Few argue that one anymore. As to gay marriage, the plus of encouraging fealty and stability outweighs by a large margin the rather paranoid concern that attending it will be the flushing down the toilet traditional marriage units. That is a tendentious and unproven assertion that frankly doesn't make much sense. Granted, it has a bit more interest than the green eye shade fiscal strawman argument. In any event, we will know in due time, since gay marriage is being legalized now, here, there and everywhere.

By the way, you do know that Israel lets out of the closet gays into its military didn't you? I just thought I would share that little faclet with you. Notice, I didn't mention Europe, since someone would then assert that that was what "caused" their militaries to become so enervated. Why bother going there, when one can just adduce hyper macho Israel instead.

Why do you use the word "limiting"? I agree there are many reasons why a man and a woman decide to get married. But the procreation that results from sexual union is the fundamental social fact that motivated the institution of marriage to be created, and is still vitally important to it. Is it not?

What's the connection?

Disagree strongly. Procreation is the only reason that any marriage law exists. They are all to subsidize the next generation. Beyond that society has no part in marriage.
