Reproduction Shouldn't Be Factor

Published: September 26, 2008

Regarding "Protecting Marriage Protects Our Children" (Other Views, Sept. 24):

David Blankenhorn's opinion piece argues that same-sex marriage should not be allowed because "people wed primarily to reproduce." That argument is deeply flawed. Many people who wed are unable or unwilling to have children. We view the marriage of a 50-something woman to be just as valid as that of a woman of childbearing years, and we do not deny a man's marriage license because he has had a vasectomy. Those marriages are socially accepted and they do not affect family units or its children. The existence of same-sex marriages makes no difference on how individuals relate to their own spouse or raise their own children.
