Marriage is a legal bond between a willing, legal man and a willing, legal woman. It has nothing to do with the ability to procreate, because un-wed couple can just as easily have children.
I hate to be close-minded or offensive, but I can't help but to put my foot down in this matter. Like I said, give homoesxuals all of the same rights as a married couple. Tax write-offs, whatever. Call it a legal bond, accord, have them be seen as a legal couple in the eyes of the law. Just don't label it a "marriage". It can be the exact same thing as a marriage, but I reserve that term for a man and a woman.
Like I said, I hate to be close-minded or offensive, but this is my personal belief on the subject.
