Summary/Abstract: In this polemic, I present arguments against the conservative philosophical justification of family law. Christopher Saja included such arguments in his essay Discrimination against same-sex couples [„Diametros” (34) 2012]. I argue that values such as human dignity, freedom, and equal-ity are to be preferred to the difference in fertility that is exalted by him. I also believe that the shift of considerations proposed by the author from the level of ideological values to that of utilitarian benefits is not at all a "neutralization" of reasoning, as Saja would have it, but the replacement of one set of values (dignity, respect for difference, freedom) by another (mercantile, utilitarian, material).
