That would make no sense. Sure, they would learn and thrive and be better educated but society would crumble because two men they will never meet might actually get to live a happily married life (or two women of course). We cannot be condoning committed relationships. I mean, half of 'traditional' marriages end in divorce. Think of it as society sparing you this heart ache. 
It makes no sense to me. While I admit I only know two gay couples both have been together longer than any hetero couple I know outside of my parents. One has been together 17 years the other 19, and guess what, the country didn't fall apart and drift into the ocean.
