Another Defeat For Same-Sex Marriage

On July 26th the Washington Supreme Court upheld the state’s ban on same-sex marriage.

“The Legislature was entitled to believe that limiting marriage to opposite-sex couples furthers procreation, essential to the survival of the human race and furthers the well-being of children by encouraging families where children are reared in homes headed by children’s biological parents,”

Wow. If the purpose of marriage is procreation then couldn’t a state pass a law requiring married couples to have at least one child or a law banning women incapable of conceiving from getting married?

“This is the right thing for our children, families and our communities,” “It is good public policy for the state to encourage marriage between a man and a woman.” - State Senator Val Stevens.

Really? I certainly won’t teach my son that discrimination is right.
