Quote by: texasdave  Marriage is indeed a religious institution but the governing authorities have the power to regulate it for the collective benefit of society. Heterosexual marriage has a collective benefit, children. Homosexual marriage has no collective benefit to society. |
The benefits are socio-cultural :rolleyes:
Just because they can't have kids, that doesn't mean they can't contribute to society.
If your definition of 'contribution' of a marriage couple is the ability to shoot out a kid every few years, then you have a very 2-dimensional view of what a healthy society should be like. And it should be one where two lovers, be they hetero or not, be allowed to marry as partners for life.
