If you are Gay ora Contracepting Straight Couple you are SINNING against Marriage

I had a very hard time understanding Santorum's (Catholic Church) illogical mind. His and their logic is that Gay Marriage is a sin against God because gay couples cannot procreate. So how does he equate Gay and Straight couples in this same sin? The "sacrament of matrimony" is for PROCREATION. Gay couples cannot procreate. Straight couples who contracept are in the SAME CATEGORY as Gays; they cannot procreate. So if gay married couples are evil and sinning against god, so are straight couples contracepting. The agrument against gay marriage equality is moot if straight couples will not, or cannot, PROCREATE.

Would he require a fertility test for straight couples to marry? What about post menopausal women? Of course no CONTRACEPTIVES if unmarried, or married, if you are straight. Sorry, you must be CELEBATE because you cannot procreate, and it would be SINNING becuse sex must equal CHILDREN; EVERYTIME you have intercouse.

This is the 21st Century thinking?????? This guy needs to be in an institution, not the Oval Office.

(to women) because obviously the man cannot have sex and therefore procreate.
