what is a standard hetro couple? what is normal? especially these days, speaking as someone in a committed non married relationship for 18 years and childless, thankfully we dont live in the biblical times i like my set up.
i dont see why not. marriage is no longer about contracts between families and making babies, generally people marry for love or partnership, on top of that plenty of hetro couples go into marriage without thought or care, so why shouldn't a gay couple who are seriously committed to each other marry and make themselves legally safer as a a couple.
regarding children, well first off hetro couples are not guaranteed to have the traditional families, some cant have children, some adopt, some never have children or want children at all.
when it comes to gay couples, some dont even want children they are like myself a childfree person and happy, if they want children why not? i dont see the issue here there are thousands of children desperate for for loving homes, and surely they are better with a loving same sex couple who will give them a good home, full stomachs, unconditional love and a good education, instead of remaining in care, unloved and sent to the streets at 18.
Also i think of it like this, a hetro couple they can just get pregnant, make mistakes, the child is not wanted, but a gay couple well we know they cant get each other pregnant naturally so they have to think about it, plan and decide.
to finish off, being gay does not make you automatically bad or a pedo, the opposite goes for hetro people we have seen this up front and in the news recently. Ian watkins, Jeffrey Epstein, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, all perverts, sex offenders or pedos, all abused young girls, non are gay.
so i just dont see why its wrong for people to live their lives as a couple if they care about each other even if their genitals match.
