ummm... Gay couples can 'desire' to have children. Gay couples can _*have*_ children (through adoption, through previous marriages, through in-vitro fertilization, through surrogacy). Gay couples can desire to have no children. Straight married couples can desire to have children. Straight married couples can _*have*_ children (through adoption, through previous marriages, through in-vitro fertilization, through surrogacy). Straight married couples can also be _*unable*_ to have children via "natural" means. Straight married couples can desire to have _*NO*_ children! What does children or the desire to produce/care for/nurture them have to do with marriage? Does the mere fact that a "straight" married couple who desire to _*NOT*_ have children _*COULD*_ insert tab "P" into slot "V" and produce offspring make the marriage valid? Does the inability to have children invalidate a marriage in your eyes? Your argument suggests that it does. If this is the case then in your world-view is every marriage that does not produce children invalid?
