It would certainly have an effect on some people on the fence, yes. Just as there are steadfast gays and hardcore heteros, there are others who could go either way (or go both ways). It could also cause heteros to have fewer children since they may see less of a point if society is rewarding the opposite. One's desire to have children is strongly dependent on how one sees the kids' future prospects, and if the future looks more and more like a dead end street, then that could have a negative impact on fertility.

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume you are in the "hardcore hetero" camp.

No offense intended but I think your posts show a fundamental misunderstanding of homosexuality. As if there's an army of "on the fence" bisexuals just waiting for laws to change so they can finally declare their allegiance to the gay team.

And how does gay marriage lead to heteros' kids' futures being a "dead end street"? These leaps of logic are escaping me. You are implying that hetero couples will say, "What's the point of even having kids, now that those damn gays can get married? Guess we'll just scrap the whole damn thing."

I said it's ONE of the reasons, among many others. It's the ole' theory of not putting all of one's eggs in one basket. I don't see what's so funny about that, but if you want to have a laugh, have a good one.

Wow, I actually thought vhawk had misread your meaning. Guess not. The fact that one of the actual reasons you are having 8 kids is so you can rest easy knowing that most of them will likely be heterosexual... is fascinating to me.
