That is why virtually every human society up until the present day has given a privileged social status to male-female sexual relationships—the only type capable of resulting in natural procreation . This privileged social status is what we call “marriage.” Extending the benefits and status of “marriage” to couples who are intrinsically incapable of natural procreation (i.e., two men or two women) would dramat ically change the social meaning of the institution.

Despite their status as a small minority, in the past several decades homosexuals have built a well-funded and politically powerful activist movement that has placed homosexuality at the forefront of political and popular culture .
