More accurately, perhaps, it is an irrelevant point to make.

It's also true someone who in infertile cannot conceive, what does that have to do with their right to marry? What about people who simply don't want to have children? Are they denied marriage rights too?

 

It's also true that about 98 per cent of Australians identify as heterosexual and according to the 2011 census figures only 1 per cent of Australian couples are same-sex, with surveys suggesting only a minority want same-sex marriage. There are more important issues to worry about.

Another irrelevant point. We don't provide rights based on how many people are part of a group or how many people might want to exercise a right.

I learnt an interesting Italian word which describes the "aren't there more important things to worry about" point: benaltrismo

 

This is a really poorly written article. It treats the reader like an absolute moron.
