PROCREATION AND THE STATE'S INTEREST: Nephtuli replies to Gabriel Rosenberg

...Same-sex couples cannot have children by themselves. Since that reality is a biological fact, we do not afford them the presumption of fertility. Although they can have children with outside help, there's no reason for the state to promote a situation where an outside actor must be involved in the couple's procreation.

I also fail to see why we must have a guarantee that someone will enter an opposite-sex marriage in order to promote such arrangements.

Another point he makes is that procreation is not the real reason behind the law. Even if we believe that procreation is not the reason behind these laws today, can we really argue that procreation was not the primary reason when these laws were created hundreds of years ago?
