It also is a ridiculous statement on other levels: what about those who intend to have children but not within the first three years?
What about those who do try to have children but are not able to for three years?
I understand anything that 'makes the churchies look bad' goes over really well here but I do have to challenge your contention that this is anywhere near a fair or valid point.

Either marriage is solely about child-bearing or it isn't. If it is, then logically those people who oppose gay marriage should also oppose couples who choose not to have children (like my wife and I) or couples who are not capable of having children (infertile and refuse to adopt) getting married. If marriage is not about child-bearing, then why be opposed to gay and lesbian couples getting married when they love each other and want a lifetime commitment together? Other than bigotry and hatred, of course.
