*I* never did say it was strictly for procreation. While many people believe it is. All I ever said was that as a
part of the marriage union, children can be produced under the guise that the marriage union is between one man and one woman.

Next you're going to say that heterosexual sterile couples are natural and homosexual couples are unnatural because of the lack of breeding, which is obviously not true, because homosexual animals find ways around that, penguins, swans, dolphins, et cetera.

Umm, I think you may be confusing breeding with the fact that in certain animal species the male parent is involved in caring for the little offspring. Let's take penguins. In order for there to be a baby penguin, there had to have been a mommy penguin and a daddy penguin. Once the mommy penguin lays the egg, she goes off for a time to feed while the daddy penguin sits (protects) the egg.
Breeding involves the mating between two different genders, male and female. At least that is how we learned it in my Agri 101 class. As far as I know, I've never come across a genetic case where a sperm fertilized a sperm and an egg fertilized an egg to produce viable offspring.
