I agree that same-sex couples should have the right to marriage and the same legal benefits heterosexual couples have. I can appreciate the argument that same-sex couples ‘cannot naturally have children,’ and that’s all well and good, but here’s my point: maybe it’s just me, but when I was a child, I was taught that marriage is a contract based on love and respect for one’s partner, not simply based on having children. The arguments put forth in the Defense of Marriage Act and others relate marriage to simple procreation, which I find to be an attack on the sanctity of marriage. If that’s the way our government wants it, then I as a straight woman want no part of their marriage. I choose love and respect any day.
