Here's a Thought For You Anti-Gay-Marriage-Types

What's a bigger threat to the "institution of marriage"? Acknowledging gay marriages or welfare?

If part of the argument is:

If you extend marriage to relationships that are not fundamentally procreative, you will reduce the importance of procreation. Having children will no longer be the key purpose of marriage and the idea that mothers and fathers are the norm for children can no longer be advanced by the state, but, in fact, must be dismissed as discriminatory.

Seems to me that in welfare, having children is the key purpose but having a marriage is often not, or at least having a man around in some capacity.

So, which is the bigger threat?

Just a thought.
