That begs the question, fsilber. If the objection is that marriage should be only for couples with children, then why are we not considering a constitutional amendment allowing marriage only for couples who already have children?

I mean maybe we can get away with looking at some Honey, or a Sweet Little Tart, and I really love Georgia Peaches, but ice cream, I don't think so.

      <![CDATA[When Same-Sex Marriage Was a Christian Rite: "Contrary to myth, Christianity's concept of marriage has not been set in stone since the days of Christ, but has constantly evolved as a concept and ritual. Prof. John Boswell, the late Chairman of Yale University’s history department, discovered that in addition to heterosexual marriage ceremonies in ancient Christian church liturgical documents, there were also ceremonies called the "Office of Same-Sex Union" (10th and 11th century), and the "Order for Uniting Two Men" (11th and 12th century)".

<br>
Since my wife and I have no children, then you are saying that the state shouldn't recognize our 21-year marriage? We're doubly invalid in the eyes of some, since we got married in a backyard by a judge, and not in a church.

      <![CDATA[There was a Pee Wee Herman episode like that:<br>
Pee Wee:  "I love fruit cocktail."<br>
Miss Evonne:  "So why don't you marry it?"<br>
Pee Wee:  "OK, I will!"<br>
(Then the crew hosts a ceremony in which Pee Wee takes his fruit salad as his lawfully wedded wife.)<br>
<br>
It sounds like a pretty valid objection to me.  I mean, the reason for government support of marriage is that married parents with children is the basis for society. Alternate forms of families (e.g. families headed by widowed, divorced, or abandoned spouses) is just making the best of a bad situation.
