Wolfson says that as more people see same sex couples marrying and as they realize that no one losing out as a result, the movement towards marriage equality will gain generational momentum. [Link]

There is a way people lose out from same-sex marriage: their right to conceive using their own gametes is reduced from being a basic civil right that cannot be taken away to being equated to the right that people have to use modified gametes to attempt same-sex conception, which most people say is contingent on it being "safe".
Either there is no right to attempt same-sex conception, or there is no right to attempt conception at all. If we don't change marriage, and continue to say that conception is a basic civil right and same-sex couples have equal rights, then we can't prohibit same-sex conception or even restrict it or make sure it is "safe", we'd just have to throw open the door to creating people by whatever means anyone wants to try.
There has to be a difference in rights, so that same-sex conception can be banned and natural conception rights preserved.
