    To add to the "biological imperative" argument. It's understandable why same sex unions would be frowned upon in the past - when population growth was an advantage that tribes (no pun in ten did) strived for. However, with our population density and the resulting growth of a "world community" (which cannot come soon enough, I might add), same sex unions actually makes sense now.

    In other words, the individual's capacity to contribute to population growth is no longer needed. This might actually be the system correcting itself and might also explain why the younger population are not so against same sex marriage as the older ones. They were the guardians of the old paradigm and they are performing their function. Just as the younger populations are performing their function, pushing the agenda that corrects the system.

    It's evolution, baby!

      The world is now generally considered to be overpopulated - when you take that into account, same sex marriages are actually beneficial, as they cannot add to the population.

      Nowadays, same sex couples can still raise a family by means of adoption or foster care - and this provides a safe place for children to grow up that may not have had one before.
