The Washington Defense of Marriage Initiative would codify marriage as a union between a fertile man and a fertile woman, would require "proof of procreation", without which the marriage would be automatically annulled, and would make it a crime for anyone not so "married" to receive marriage benefits. Mere copulation won't do! The folks behind this initiative apparently don't expect it to pass, but they do have the good humor to note that:

..at the very least, it should be good fun to see the social conservatives who have long screamed that marriage exists for the sole purpose of procreation be forced to choke on their own rhetoric.

This is the kind of fun that politics needs way, way more of.
