Marriage and its reproductive benefits arise all by themselves through people's consensual relations and without the need for the State to do anything. Marriage does not need protection from the State - although it would be good if they'd stop undermining and destroying it - and people do not deserve any forced redistribution in their favour just because they have children. People have their own incentives for entering into sexual, reproductive and economic relations, and don't need any from you.
Furthermore, childless married couple are nevertheless still married, so your conception of marriage is wrong; and it is absurd hyperbole to assert that the governmental registration of homosexual relationships would risk destroying the basis of "our" wealth production, whoever "we" are.
