Procreation? That's why people get married? Come on, now. A traditional marriage between a man and a woman occurrs because they are declaring their love for one another publicly. Which is what gay people are trying to do - a public declaration. It is not based on a desire for protection under the law, because that would happen as a common-law couple living together for some time anyway.
Procreation is what happens when you have unprotected sex. It has nothing to do with a piece of paper from either church or state.
