Was the language about heterosexual procreation actually in legislation to oppose gay marriage, instead of just the arguments about gay marriage?

On some level the procreation requirement is funny and calls attention to the issue, but I also wonder if the argument kind of backfires because I think the vast majority of heterosexual marriages do produce children.

Sure some people just form couples, but for a lot of people it's the first step towards starting a family.

Anyone know the percentage?

What if heteros were willing to accept those terms; no marriage is valid without offspring; no marriage benefits to couples without children? I think many Bible thumpers would be cool with that because they do have kids.


ETA: I see now that it was the language of the supreme court decision.
