Gay Marriage: Only a Matter of Time
Ladst thing I’m going to put up this evening. The article is a really good read!
In the comments, sir4474 asks:
Question? If gay marriage is on the horizon as it is being suggested then can someone explain why in the histroy of human beings living on plant earth and the many civilizations that have come and gone has this not been a part of the mainstream of every day life.
The reality is that in many (all??) known civilizations or cultures, there have been meaningful same-sex relationships based on love and intimacy. Historically, these have often been either wiped from history or misrepresented to hide the “gay” part of it. However, it is probably very true that gay relationships as we know them today have never existed in a similar fashion before perhaps WWI. So many factors influence the way people live and the way our culture is. WWI and then WWII brought enormously large groups of same-sex into cities like San Francisco and New York, and the rise of the industrial age changed the rile of work, workers, family and individualism. but in most every culture, there are stories of same-sex attraction, affection and love. In these human interactions there may have been a physical dimension or they may not have. We won’t fully know, although evidence suggests that there were.
