Did you actually ever fall to love?

Yours and our soceity suffer dearly, and will suffer even more in the future, from overaging, and we all will pay the bill from that - in money, money and more money. Money that many of us may not be able to come up with, in the future, Stichwort Altersarmut.

And you guys keep arguing on why families and thus: heterosexual couples as the basis for any social and communal survival should not be protected and encouraged!

To me a clear indicator that once again the unescapable karma of unsentimental demographics is either understimated, or ignored.

You still have to explain how a couple won't find themselves attractive, or wishing to have children, because of the concept of gay marriage. That's like saying eating the same food as animals do will make people boycott eating. And even if that were true, it would be a very sad affair for couples if they decided only to have children and live together because others are not allowed to. Or may you think homosexuals will eventually look for partners of the other sex so that they can marry an d have children?

What study, what observation are you basing your arguments upon?

Simple question, are you unwilling to marry and have children because gays may marry, too? Or do you simply fear your social standing and the prestige coming with that will suffer if homosexuals marry?
