If the only goal of marriage was reproduction, then this argument would hold true. However, the goal of marriage has nothing to do with reproduction for many people (those who are sterile, those who choose not to have children, and homosexuals).

AGDee I feel that you are missing my point. There is no problem with my argument because I stated that biology exists outside the concept of marriage. You need not have one to have the other. You asked for a reason
other than religion and the reason I give is a biological one.
Now, we as humans have connected the biological aspect of procreation to marriage, but for animals, they still procreate without getting married - horses, pigs, dogs, lions. All of these animals produce offspring without the benefit of marriage.
My point from a biological perspective is that gays can not fully contribute to perpetuation of the species in a biological sense since two of the same gender can not produce offspring. Therefore, gays can not fully contribute their genetic material to the gene pool.
