As we all know, the great peril of gay marriage is that it will break the ironclad link between romantic commitment and keeping your quiver full. Now, Ann Friedman notes, there’s a group fighting the even more serious threat of married childless heterosexuals. So join the Washington Defense of Marriage Alliance today!

Holy smokes!! You know, the way they throw around the phrase “legitimate state interest” you wonder if there is any difference between progressive and conservative ideology anymore, other then ‘what flavor do you prefer?’. However at least they are being intellectually honest about the whole procreation argument against gay marriage by including us childless by choice folks as well.
Anyway, I wonder if it is in their plan of infinite state wisdom to find it in the kindness of the state�s heart to reimburse us for all of the money we spent on that freakin wedding if we were forced to get an annulment?

And the hyperlink “fighting” isn’t working.

Crap, I live in Washington, have been married over 3 years, and don’t have kids….
I KNEW the initiative process was gonna bite me in the ass, I just didn’t know quite how.
In all honesty, I thought this was hilarious. I understand all the mainstream gay rights groups dissociating themselves from this, but I’m glad someone’s calling the question… even if it means a 1/1,000,000 chance that my marriage gets dissolved.
