Your point, however, was that with homosexuals, when the sexual component is gone, the relationship is gone. My response was merely, "not in every case."
Then without the sex, these women are just best friends. There's no procreation involved to bring them together as one, so the only bond they have is companionship. That's not what marriage is all about.It's so much more than just living together.
IF they were young and one didn't provide the carpet munch, do you think the other would have stayed, or would she have found another to fill that need, because that's the only type of union these people can have. Kinky Sex. It doesn't go any further than that. The union ends there.
