... Here comes the groom: A (conservative) case for gay marriages. ...
Sullivan mentions that domestic partnership is a poor alternative to gay marriages, because not only is it a more complex matter for the gay couple, but it also forces the couple to prove their relationship, which never has been an issue for heterosexual couples. In current society, gay relationships are already recognized, and to make them seem more committed, a bond of marriage, though not traditional, would provide a path that would not open a way for heterosexual couples that were not married to receive benefits based on domestic partnership. Having gay marriages would not mock or undermine the traditional heterosexual marriages, but merely provide a sense of satisfaction for gays and their affected families. ... Gay marriage, an oxymoron. ...
The author mentions that allowing same sex marriages would cause a social phenomenon, that society could not take. ... Sure allowing of same sex marriages would bring a sense of satisfaction to gay men and women, but society is more concerned about the stability of heterosexual relationships because they are essential in the raising of a healthy child.
