Uhhh.... think about this now.   The people who would enter into a gay
marriage are less likely to have children either way.  I suppose there
may be some who would say "well, I can't marry this person I want to
marry, so I'll go straight and marry someone else"  but I imagine this
number would be quite small.  Those who would marry for the sake of
marriage only rather than for love wouldn't bother fighting for this
law.  Also:  there are gay couples who seek to have children, either by
adoption or seeking an outside person (either male donor or female surrogate)
or who have had children from a previous marriage and bring them into a
gay union.  I have known many such people.  And many of them chose NOT
to have children (or were denied adoption) BECAUSE they could not legally
marry.  Marriage does give a child certain rights.  I don't see any
validity to your statement.

Oh yeah, the low birth rate is starting to become a real problem.  I
hear they're shutting down whole counties back East because there aren't
enough people to populate them.  

(Oops, sorry.  My sarcasm circuit was turned up a bit high.)
