test tube baby 

A test tube baby was conceived by artificial means, by introducing the sperm and egg to each other outside the body. The zygote is then implanted into the future mother's womb.

Test tube babies are NOT born in test tubes. Not yet, anyway.

Jill had a very hard time getting pregnant, so she decided to try having a test tube baby.

Black Sheep 

Members of the toughest, flyingist, darn Marine Corps squadron in the Pacific Theater of World War II. Originally wanting to be called "Boyington's Bastards," but "Black Sheep" was a bit more printable.

The Black Sheep Squadron TV show is not a very accurate portrayal of the real day-to-day life of the sqadron.

gay marriage 

Two people of the same sex promising fidelity and love to each other.

In response to some of the other arugments: If people who can't procreate naturally (such as a gay couple) shouldn't get married, than neither should straight couples who are for some reason infertile. There are plenty of heterosexual marriages that don't produce offspring; this is accepted, and so should be gay marriage.

In the end, it is only between the two people who love each other.

Gay marriage is an issue that needs to be thought about in today's society.
