Some marriages do not produce children.
Yes, but again they are the exception rather than the rule. The state recognizes marriage because marriage in general procreates and provides the most stable and nurturing environment for children. By the facts of nature, no homosexual act can do this—no exceptions.
Second, sterile heterosexual marriages still affirm the connection to childbearing because sterility is not generally known on the wedding day. And in those instances where sterility is known, as with older couples, the man-woman union still models what is generally a procreative relationship. There is a difference between having old plumbing and having the wrong plumbing.
Finally, it would not be possible or desirable for the state to attempt to determine which men and women are capable of procreation and which are not. However, since no homosexual relationship produces children, no homosexual relationship can fulfill this basic function of marriage.
