9. Yes, a great deal of circular "reasoning" based on
nothing much except preconceived notions about the iffy "morality" of homosexuality, that is offensive to infertile couples, older couples, unmarried couples, nonreligious couples, etc. as well as same-sex couples... not to mention any couple or any person who respects the separation of church and state.

As civil law goes, there is NO reason for the state to deny same-sex couples the right to marry. And the bar isn't whether they can show a reason to recognize their right to marry - it's whether the state can show a reason to *deny* them an intrinsic civil right recognized for other citizens.
