Your big assumption is your belief that your idea of marriage and the right to marriage is somehow correct with the Platonic essence of marriage which carries over down through the centuries. Most don’t agree that marriage meaning two or some other number of people living together because they are in love, and enjoy each other sexually. Of course heteros can use sex for something that gays cannot — making a new human being, which biologically and survival of the fittest-wise, is the only reason why there hetero-sex, with homo-sex being the aberration not the norm biologically. Right, I don’t want Gays discriminated against or treated like second class citizens. But if marriage is the product of biology, and the need of the species to preserve itself, the right to procreate (aka the right to marry) is qualitatively different that the right to live with someone you love. But of course, no one in our country says gays can’t live with whoever they want, or have sex with whoever they want. No one is stopping them. But Gays want to stop Heteros from thinking children are special products of marriage and need to be protected by the traditional institution. These are the real anti children bigots.
