A follow-up..
" The argument that procreation is an essential element of marriage is usually only brought up in the context of arguing against same-sex marriage. " -http://www.bbc.co.uk/ethics/samesexmarriage/against_4.shtml
It was only today that i got around doing some actual researching. Interestingly, for about the last twenty years, scientists have been researching methods to achieve same-sex procreation for humans, either through the creation of female sperm or a male egg. There has been success with experiments with animals, like chicken or mice, for example. An excerpt from the website http://www.samesexprocreation.com/ : _ If heterosexuals can use technical assistance to have children, same-sex couples can have children using the same methods. It wouldn't make sense to ban same-sex procreation, and therefore gay sex , and gay marriages should then be legal. To return to the statement at the beginning, Marriage is apparently the symbolism and upholding of love, right? But now babies are just but one of the aspects of marriage, and neither does society make having children a requirement for marriage. Moreover, what has having kids got to do with truly loving another person, which is what marriage is ultimately about? Whatever shit about this gender or that sex shouldn't matter since LOVE CONQUERS ALL.
