I do not necessarily disagree with what you assert. However, I look for the affirmative argument, and whether SSM furthers procreation or not is not the legal issue in my eyes. It may be the sympathetic one. I know that my brother and his mate deliberately traveled to Iowa just to have that document, a Marriage Certificate, even though it conferred no added privileges to them back in their home state. There they have to do it the incremental way. But I clearly understand the "feel-good" nature of it. I was happy that it made my brother happier. I did not really care otherwise.
I also understand those who oppose what they see as a denigration of the meaning of a Marriage. So I am content with letting the most local folks (the States) decide.
Now that it is in front of SCOTUS, it is a great listen.
Why should I have to make an affirmative argument regarding individual liberty? Shouldn't you have to make the argument against it?
