Why should homosexuals have less rights that other people? That's just bigotry. The purpose of marriage is for two people who are are committed to each other to gain that legal and social status. That may be important for rights of inheritance, citizenship, residency and numerous other rights. The idea that marriage is intended for procreation is false and a claim made by those who discriminate against homosexuals. If procreation is a key factor then it should be enforced equally: you lose your marriage right or are prosecuted for not procreating.
