[Paul C. Jesup]

Dou you know of any same sex couple that is capable of procreating?

He insulted the younger men of FR, and I am calling him on it. See post 69.

[JCEccles]

If one accepts the general principle that marriage exists to give children a a stable structure within which to be born and reared to healthy adulthood, then gay marriage is clearly seen as a destructive repudiation and mockery of that principle.

It's my experience that much of the support for gay marriage at FR comes from socially immature single young men and women who don't buy into this general principle. I suspect it's because they view sex solely as recreation, an erotic all-senses-involved Play Station 2 game.

Childless male-female couples do not disprove the general principle either. At least there is a underlying biological coherence in their coupling that is not present and will never be present in gay marriage.
