If the laws are changed and procreation is a requirement of marriage, it would make your stand valid.

And, if marriage was required for procreation, it would make your stand valid.

And, if there were anything included on a wedding application, or a marriage license, or the vows one takes to enter a legally binding contract, making procreation a requirement, it would make your stand valid.

If marriage were also denied any barren straight couple, or any couple including a female in menopause, it would make your stand valid.

But, as long as straight couples are afforded the benefits of government recognition of marriage, so should gay couples be afforded the same.

Conservatism: Self-centered mean-spiritedness fueled by ignorance and misguided self-importance.

Bigotry is a social disease.

Legalized same-sex marriage almost certainly benefits those same-sex couples who choose to marry, as well as the children being raised in those homes. - David Blankenhorn is president of the New York-based Institute for American Values and the author of "The Future of Marriage."
