Actually, it's irrelevant in my book whether it curbs promiscuity or not. Back to the original point, it's a question of whether consenting adults will be allowed to arrange their lives as they see fit or not.

They can and always have been able to arrange their individual lives as they see fit. They can create private cohabitation contracts, powers of attorney and healthcare surrogate declarations. It is only the institutions that affect all of society that there is limitations. Marriage is a social institution not a private institution. Homosexuals will never have the ability to procreat via an institution. (adoption is a legislative creation and use of science is artificial intervention) As a social insititution, it is between a male and a female regardless of sexual behavior of the individuals. We do not allow sex slave contracts regarless of the "consent" of the individual (regadless of orientation).

We do not allow marriages of convenience in order to pass through immigration paperwork regardless of the consent of the parties. Sorry, this society has core rules which must be respected by all. Homosexuals do not respect that their conduct has consequences and limitations. (you can't dress as a punk in an orchestra performance)

There is no legislative or common law right to homosexual sex. Society does not have to suffer the tyrany of the minority sex fetish.
