Tom, I hope you realize that your words cut more than just to same sex unions.
When my husband & I were getting married, there were some in our church community who felt that we, too, should not be able to get married, since I was not able to have children. Your words reminded me of those days, decades ago.
The comments you made would also preclude the marriage of any people that were elderly, and in any other way could not have, or did not want to have, children.
I hope that you realize that many people do get married without the plan, or ability, of having children, and many are having children without marriage.
