Sorry newbie troll. These are not marriages. Marriage is an institution initiated by God primarily for the purpose of procreation. The Massachussetts courts can call it whatever they'd like (you misspleed it as 'marring' - which is appropriate) - but it is NOT marrying.

This thing in Massachussetts is a series of parties by people who, for the most part, cannot procreate, have no intention of remaining monogomus and have no respect for the basis for the religious sacrament of marriage.

I am against Gay marriage, but I don't know if I this argument works. When my husband and I got married, we both knew there would be no children. So older people, or people who don't intend to have children shouldn't get married?

You don't even need to reference God. Society rewards the insititution NOT the individual. Thus since the institution perpetuates society, society perpetuates the institution.

Homosexuals, at law, have always had access to cohabitation agreements between themselves. Have always had the option of producing children via a legal "marriage". The issue is and has always been legal acceptance of their private sexual behavior as "normal".

Next Troy McClure will want to legally marry his fish based on a private sex act he can never speak about.
