Forty one US states reject same-sex marriages and even nullify a marriage that was accommodated in a different jurisdiction. California legislation recently refused a ban on same sex marriages. Of course knowing California's population of gay men, it is an astute move to support the ban. A great deal of southern California voters, are gay.
What is the root of the argument that two men (we will address women in a separate review) shouldn't get married? And, in opposition, why does a formal marriage license matter to the gay community?
The religious approach is straight forward in affect to gay marriage- it's not allowed. God (in the three biggest denominations) created Adam and Eve, and it would seem God knew what he was doing if he is in fact The All Knowing Creator of all things. Gay men that believe in the God (speaking of Christian believers in particular) argue against this point. Unfortunately, to argue against the logic of God's powers using Christianity as the basis, against Christianity's logic for the order of things under God's will is incongruous.
Other countries have homosexual men and these men aren't out trying to defy the world with a makeshift religious explanation. For that matter only American gay men are so fervent about a marriage. One could assume the whole thing is a publicity stunt. The argument could be, why all the sudden? Men were gay in the 1980s. What is wrong with the common law union they had? What is the big deal with a marriage license?
These questions and topics are good to start with. Give feed back, so that, some stream of logical understanding can develop. Let's keep opinions and questions in good taste (no gay jokes).
