If Marriage is about Pro-Creation then why are old folks allowed to marry? [View All]

I'm watching old episodes of Bill Maher's Real Time on HBO On-Demand and this is the episode where they have some leader of the Catholic Online Group (Ray Flynn I think is his name) sitting right next to Barney Frank (Rep from Boston and acknowledged Gay Man). I don't know HOW Bill Maher got these 2 to sit side by side in a room (they were of the TV screen, not a panalist) but that Catholic Guy looked like he was on the worlds worst blind date.

So the whole argument by the Catholic Priest who's against gay & lesbian marriages was the whole "Pro-Creation" theory. That because Gay & Lesbian couples are not capable of pro-creation then therefore they cannot be married.

Then something dawned on me. My mother remarried about 10 years ago. She was pre-menopausal AND she was also schedule to get a Hysterectomy. Therefore it would be impossible for my mother and her future new husband to pro-create. Under this catholic priest ideology they shouldn't be allowed simply because of their inability to pro-create.

:shrug:

Seriously, that's what it sounded like he was discribing!
