Im all up for same sex marriage! The professor is definitely right in arguing how much do we save by not allowing gays and lesbians to marry? He presents a great argument and is a great use of space in this world. What is the government preventing from not allowinopg this? I also agree with his proposition that someday the people making these decisions would eventually vote to getting rid of our rights to give our opinions on this.
I think the fertility argument cant be proven. The Netherlands has a high Arab/North African population -who are known for their high fertility rates- compared to other Scandinavian countries. This is probably the main contributor to fertility in the Netherlands NOT the legalizing of same-sex marriage.
