There is a purpose to marriage, Neo, and that purpose isn't glomming onto someone else's health insurance. Marriage existed long before the benefits gays are REALLY after. It is those material benefits, not marriage, that is the REAL issue for them.

You can argue that example all you want; there already exist persons you are banned from marrying.

If the purpose of marriage is to create new persons by procreation and provide those persons a home, how do you propose to do this with a "gay marriage"?

And if you say this is an argument about what marriage is or should be, well, yes, that's exactly what it is.
