Heterosexuals can produce offspring while homosexuals can't. While not all heterosexuals produce offspring in a marriage, many of them do. No homosexual can produce offspring.
Therefore, from a purely biological standpoint, there is no reason for two homosexuals to try to "mate" as they can't. Two homosexuals will NEVER produce offspring.
Since two homosexuals can't mate and produce children, they shouldn't be allowed to marry. Though, I wouldn't be opposed to giving homosexuals the right to marry while withholding the child-producing benefits from them.
By the way... The number of marriages which don't produce children are few and far between (I just thought you'd like to know) when compared the number of them that do.

This brings us back to the argument regarding infertile couples. Should they be denied the right to marry? If, after marriage, they become infertile before the birth of a child, should their marriage be forcefully annulled?

I bolded the pertinent part. I'm sick and tired of the "All people must be treated equally under the United States Constitution!" argument, because that's a load of BS. You live in a country where people are denied basic rights-- Constitutionally, I might add-- Based on age, national origin, race, mental capacity, etc; Inequalities which, by the way, the majority of people live with and accept. But none of that matters. No! Let's instead claim that all groups are treated equally, save homosexuals.

You might want to bring this up to the Supreme Court. I recall something about the 14th Amendment, Section 1. Why are you sick and tired of people expecting our government and legislative bodies to adhere to the constitution?

Notice how the ONLY people thus far to mention religion are those in favor of legalizing gay marriage. Why is that?

That may be because the main argument against gay marriage has come from the religious right? Where else does the argument that homosexuality is a deviance and an abomination come from?
