> Does the community really have an interest in equalizing homosexual and heterosexual couples, when homosexual marriage cannot produce any children in the first place by its very nature, and when any adopted children are automatically disadvantaged without even the prospect of opposite-sex parental role models (a "mommy" and a "daddy")? Doesn't it stand to reason, that if the goal of the government recognition on marriage is to provide incentive opposite-sex parental roles, that perhaps marriage is the wrong way to be doing that? We recognize plenty of marriages that will remain childless due to no-desire, or inability to have/raise children, yet they continue to reap the benefits of marriage.
