There are gay couples around, but the overwhelming majority of folks who are in marital relationships are "straight", and the biology has not changed. It still takes one of each gender to make babies, and the institution of marriage is oriented towards that. I suspect that it is going to be a long time (if ever) that this country will embrace homosexual marriage as an institution. Best, Bob ********************************************** Robert A.
