The debate has heated up, again, about gay marriage, since the Supreme Court ruling. The gays are ecstatic. The left is dancing in the street. The right is worried & the far right are having heart attacks. The middle just wishes they'd shut up & quit talking about it.
Marriage is an eons old institution that is one of the main stabilizers of our species. I don't think homosexuals should be allowed to marry, in a traditional sense, but there does need to be some sort of legally binding equivalent. Not for heterosexuals "shack-ups" because they have the marriage option. Marriage is generallly a religious ceremony that has worked it's way into civil life. In thousands of years, it has been a unifier for the traditional family. It needs to stay that way.
The right has some very valid concerns, besides those described above. For one, in the not too distant future, Adam & Steve can pretend to be Adam & Eve. Think that's stretching it? Read this & weep.

Scientists claim that the first human baby could be born from a transplanted womb within three years.
The Swedish expert behind the research says that one of the best candidates to be an organ donor would be the patient's own mother - raising the prospect of carrying your children in the same womb that carried you.
He says that it may even be technically possible one day to transplant a womb into a man, and use hormone injections to allow a pregnancy to succeed.
