That said, it's easy to win the heterosexual-marriage-only argument if you narrowly define the purposes of recognizing marriage to be purely procreative. Last time I checked, the rights and obligations of married persons to each other went well beyond that and, given rape laws, perhaps even are expressly not that.

I'm curious - are there any surviving legal distinctions between legitimate and illegitimate offspring anymore? I guess I'm thinking particularly in terms of inheritance, but otherwise? Do children of, say, divorced parents have better protections than those having claims in paternity suits?
