Gays can’t have kids, so they shouldn’t be allowed to marry, Arizona attorneys argue

[Swede Atlanta]

28. This is the "traditional" argument by conservatives against marriage equality.......

They maintain that the ability to pro-create without the help of a third party is the defining criteria for marriage.

If that is the case then there should be a pre-marital test for fertility before issuing a marriage license. The woman has to be confirmed to produce viable eggs and the man has to beat off and shoot into a cup so his semen can be checked.

But the question precedent is whether or not the two individuals, assuming they appear to have the physical capability (egg and semen are viable), want to or will attempt or have children.

So it sounds like in order to get a marriage license you have to demonstrate you can have kids (without fertility treatments, etc.) and perhaps even sign a pledge that you plan to attempt or have children.

So what happens if you use birth control and don't even try to have a child or you can't. Does that mean your marriage is dissolved? Who decides when it is dissolved? Do you have to report how often you have had intercourse, the woman's ovulation cycle, the amount and quality of the sperm to some governmental agency? Talk about governmental intrusion.

That is why this is a joke. Many heterosexuals choose not to have children. So is intent enough to disqualify you from getting married?
