The initiative would never pass but the most vocal among its critics will likely be the very people who are against gay marriage. That will be the best part. It will point out the real hypocrisy.
Besides, if most gay people feel they can't get a good shot at legalized marriages in most states, it costs them nothing to make everyone examine what is really meant by a marriage.
My wife and I have no kids, nor do we want any. Many of our friends who are in committed gay relationships would be better parents that we would. I never once questioned the validity of my marriage even though we both didn't want kids.
So in the end the brilliance of this proposal is to make people really ask the question "What do _I_ get from my marriage and why can't OTHERS have that?" I doubt there is are many couples out there who detest each other but simply want to make more christian babies. If there is, they should be locked up and kept out of the gene pool.
No one enters into marriage for the experess purposes of making more babies. They can do that without marriage. Marriage obviously means a lot more than just making kids.
So gay people can then ask "Why can't we have a committed relationship with appropriate recognition?" The only answer the right has been able to come up with is "Because you can't make babies" to disguise their hatred of homosexuals.
I've had enough with this "love the sinner but hate the sin" garbage. They hate the sinner.
Bravo for anyone who can make the rest of society actually think about why they reject gay marriage. Because ultimately they will accept it if they know why they are married.
