Just fyi I'm gay and all for gay marriage so please don't take this as me being a bigot or anything.

Quote by: The Bacon Guy  But banning gay marriage isn't going to result in homosexuals suddenly becoming heterosexual and deciding to have kids. They'll simply remain unmarried homosexuals and still be child-less.
And Wind's point about the homosexual adoption is an important one, I think, since money saved in state-run orphanages could be put into pensions. |
Heterosexual married couples recieve tax benefits, denying this to homosexuals is merely a way of balancing out the poor economic effects of not having children.
Of course they will remain homosexuals, but as above, them not marrying will save money which will help counter the financial issues with suddenly depopulating.

Quote by: The Bacon Guy You could use the same argument to ban interracial marriages as well or to ban Hindus or the disabled or the physically unattractive from having children. It's true that having homosexual parents may lead to bullying, but then there are a myriad of other factors which could also lead to bullying, It' not fair to single out just one of them. |
True, but with the case of interracial conception then the child will be of the same orientation so will not blame his parents as the cause of his bullying, but instead
his/her unchangeable difference, in this case race/skin colour. The same goes for the physically unnattractive.
