Defense of DOMA

A Mr. Reed, self-appointed cleric of Christian morality, has declared same-sex couples cannot marry because the purpose of marriage is procreation, as in the case of the following:

? Yes, he's sorry neither you nor your husband can make babies. But, don't even think about growing an egg in a petrie dish.

? You want to marry but don't want to have any children, and you still want to have sex?

? Joe and Josephine, you've fallen in love and want me to wed you? Of course. What! You're both in your 90s? No can do. And, don't you two even think of doing it.

? Ah, Mr. and Mrs. Johnston, highly respected members of our congregation, I've heard so much about your wonderful children. They're all adopted, you say? An African-American, a Bulgarian infant with AIDS, an American Indian, and, a Jewish Palestinian? That is an abomination! You didn't even procreate. Your marriage shall be annulled.

Well, so much for family values.
