Normativity is a prerequisite for integrity of a group or society, and forms the way for accomplishing the needs of social life.

Without the required degree of integration, the society as a whole would be in constant danger of disintegration, collaps, or ultimately extinction. Thus, the law and normative systems integrate the society by expressing and protecting certain values and needs, without which it is not possible for society to exist, develop, or prosper. | + | | According to the Theory of State and Law, the set of normative requirements towards an individual in relation to other individual or group, or such requirements towards a group in relation to an individual, represents a social network of relationships between individuals, as well as groups, that can be called a '''social normativity'''.{{#tag:ref| cf.

| − | The actual thought experiment aiming to resolve this question consists in imagining the group of people, a pattern subject of research, that would consider as normal and normative solely the [[homosexual]] behavior. If such norm would be applied onto all members of the tested group, so that all of them would be "normalized" accordingly, the society that would adopt such twisted normative approach would simply die out or depend on unnatural methods of [[reproduction]]. The result of this [[experiment]] is predictable with absolute degree of certainty beyond any doubt. Therefore, the conclusive statement inevitably must be that not only the homosexual relationships do not secure the integrity of the society, but also act in counter-direction, endanger its very existence and disintegrate it. In order to maintain the sustainability of society, they must be left devoid of legal support with respect to any form of marriage, i.e. institution arranging i.a. the sexual relationships of humans. | + | The actual thought experiment aiming to resolve this question consists in imagining a ''group of people'', a ''pattern'' subject of research, that would consider as ''normal'' and ''normative'' solely the [[homosexual]] behavior.

Same-sex relations are ''essentially'' sterile, intrinsically unfit for generation, while compatible opposite-sex relations are intrinsically generative and only ''accidentally'' infertile. There is nothing a same-sex couple could do at any time or in any way that would render their relations fertile. The opposite is true of the vast majority of compatible opposite-sex couples, who would actively have to do something to render their relations infertile.<ref name="Reilly2014">{{cite book |title=Making Gay Okay: How Rationalizing Homosexual Behavior is Changing Everything |author=Robert R.
