Just a comment on this - if the reason to favour heterosexual marriages over homosexual ones is primarily because the union will result in children, then why should elderly people be allowed to get married? If you have two 80 year olds, they are even less likely than a homosexual couple to have children (a lesbian couple for instance could use donor sperm), and yet they receive the same legal benefits as a young couple who are planning to have a passel of kids. Similarly a young couple who never plan to have children, suppose they have had a vasectomy/hysterectomy?
