Marriage does not equal children.  Couples who are too old to have children
marry.  Infertile people marry.  Couples who don't ever want to have kids
marry.  So what?

The financial issue exists, but based on what I saw when it came up at UM,
it's really used as a proxy by people who simply hate gays, or at least hate
homosexuality itself.

And hatred should NEVER be used as a basis for public policy.
