I don't disagree with the last sentence...but it isn't going to happen. As long as tax benefits are tied to marriage...we have to be realists. If the GOP wants to move forward with any shred of intellectual honesty regarding personal choice and responsibility we can't deny human beings equal treatment because they were born differently.
But they are different, so different that the marriage would be completely different if we actually did have to go to a cabbage patch to pick out our children.

If people could not get children unless they knowingly, and purposey went to a place to get their children, fill out the paper work, go thru the legal hassles, before they could get a baby. Then governments would not support or endorse them until after they committed to have kids, applied for, and received their kids.
But men and women make babies even when they don't want to, even if they did not plan to, or thought they were medically incapable of having kids. This is why governments and society promote, endorse, and encourage their sexually active citizens to get married.
Two gay men will not accidentally make a kid, that neither one was expecting. They won't come home to a spontaneous baby at their doorstep. So the only way gay and lesbian couples should receive government endorsement, tax deductions, subsides, etc... is after they adopt.

What the heck? This is one of the most bizarre ever attempts at an analogy that I've ever seen.
