And??? ..... So..... How are you right again?
Tim-
Fundamental, in Constitutional terms, means it deals with due process, which means life, liberty, or property. It just so happens that marriage deals with all three. It has nothing to do with procreation. The government has historically supported marriage because it provides stable homes for children. That stability comes from the sharing of life, liberty, and property between two consenting adults in a harmonious relationship. The fact that same sex couples cannot procreate in no way detracts from the fact that they are capable of providing stable homes for children as well.
Now I can't spell it out any better for you. If you want waste your time by using your own definition of "fundamental" rather than the legal definition, then have at it. I've tried to improve your understanding of Constitutional law so that you could at least coherently debate the topic, but I probably might as well have been trying to educate a wall.
