He helps them define their own half-formed dreams, and puts himself at their service. He is not diminished as they become more. He offers courage in one hand and generosity in the other.

    Muhammad Ali, Hana Yasmeen Ali (2004). “The Soul of a Butterfly: Reflections on Life's Journey”, p.169, Simon and Schuster

Defendants have presented no evidence of any such effect. Indeed, they cannot even explain the manner in which, as they predict, children of opposite-sex couples will be harmed. Their other contentions are equally without merit.
