Yes, but you represented those cases to state that there is a reason and that procreation is the only reason. There are plenty of other ones, either hypothetical or real, that would apply to homosexual marriage as well, not all of which are exclusively financial (such as, medical decision delagee).
And I've yet to see you explain why the logic supporting eliminating gender restrictions on marriage also supports numerical limitations. Equal protection treats suspect classes differently than non-suspect lines, such as between 1, 2, 3, 4, and any other number.
