THE UNBEATABLE INFERTILITY ARGUMENT: Mark Miller

Maggie, you are again exaggerating the arguments in support of SSM (or some legal recognition of gay couples) to suit your agenda. The proponents of SSM are not saying that the public purpose of marriage is ONLY about anything. It is about many things. I agree that the existence of infertile married couples does not contradict the public purposes of marriage, even though they may not always further them to the fullest extent. Where we differ is that I believe the exact same logic also applies to same-sex couples--that their existence does not contradict the public purposes of marriage, even though they may not always further them to the fullest extent.

And using the same logic you used in your argument, the fact that same-sex couples CANNOT procreate, does not and should not contradict the public purposes of marriage, even though they may not always further them to the fullest extent.
