Or be like myself and my wife, married 5 years almost and don't have kids. Our marriage vows never said we promise to pop out some kids as a part of our union. Think a lot of people who want to "protect" marriage should probably at least understand what it is first heh.

Actually Marriage is there to reproduce ( at least marriage with a catholic church ) only time it is not is in the 10% of couples which are unable to have children together. No judging though, it's probably one of the stupidest laws the curch has.

I certainly hope Catholics and their representatives in court understand that if they succeed in defining marriage under such a narrow minded umbrella (In the current SCOTUS case) it will immediately be followed by lawsuits suing the federal government for establishing laws respecting a religion.  The ultimate outcome would be the removal of all language in the Constitution, Tax Code, Immigration Code, Next of Kin, Medical Benefits, Insurance etc... regarding marriage.  Imagine how pleased everyone in the US would be, to have to get civil union certificates to qualify for the rights and responsibilities currently associated w/ marriage, but denied gay couples.  While it would be a pain in the ass for many people, the public PR backlash these institutions would suffer would be glorious.
