If marriage is desirable in any way that does not hinge upon procreation then there can be no
reason in logic why
the homosexual marriage should not exist as a social counterpart to the more frequent
heterosexual equivalent.
Some groups have urged such a course, and some societies have been prepared to tolerate
such an arrangement.
California has recently seen a homosexual marriage between two men, and not long ago - in
1969 - a priest in
a Rotterdam church conducted a marriage service for two homosexuals.
