Procreation can be a part of marriage and it does not have to be a part of it. Its not a prerequisite of marriage. I have listened to the right whine about this and its a non sequitur.
I think when the right whines about this they have lost the argument. If that were the case then if someone was known to not be able to have kids then they could not marry. Holy Crap thats stupid.

Sounds like you're the one engaged in a whinefest. Just sayin'.

Nothing.
It's a symptom of the inability to think rationally that pervades humanity.
A marriage is not for two people 'in love'. It's a legal binding of two adult's property rights for the benefit of progeny. Since homosexual couples are infertile, a contract for marriage is a nullity in law.
Furthermore, if one needs a license (permission) to marry, then it isn't a "right".
Contrast common law marriages - which require no permission - and the common law rights of curtesy and dower - that are predicated on the issue of children from the marriage.
Also, note the difference between a legitimate and an illegitimate child - only the legitimate child can inherit from his father.
Of course, after 80 years of national socialism and indoctrination, most folks have no clue about property rights. But if you read the law and history, it is obvious.
...
CURTESY - The estate to which by common law a man is entitled, on the death of his wife, in the lands or tenements of which she was seised in possession in fee-simple or in tail during her coverture, provided they have had lawful issue born alive which might have been capable of inheriting the estate.

How about infertile same-sex couples?
Like the elderly?
Justice Kagan asked Cooper a good question today. If marriage is only for the purpose of procreation, then why should we allow two 55-year-olds to marry? He rambled for a few minutes, then trailed off.

Marriage is a 'seat belt' to protect children born. People are supposed to 'wear' marriages so if children are born ('car wrecks' ) they're protected. Again this is common sense.

Nothing, except in the minds of the morality police.
