Perkins denied this connection. “We’re talking about an arbitrary boundary created by man between the races; that doesn’t exist in nature,” he said. “There is a boundary between people of the same sex getting married. They can’t procreate. There’s nothing in nature to say that’s normal.”
Perkins argued that marriage was not for the legal protection of an adult union but for the protection of children. Olsen threw that back in his face. “What the Supreme Court said in the cases that it decided last year involving the defense of marriage case, striking that down, is that children do matter,” Olsen argued. “There are thousands and tens of thousands of children in same-sex house holds. They deserve the same respect and decency to that others have.”
