Marriage revisited, 2010

Published by Karl under Gays, Personal at 12:03 am

Marriage is a hot topic lately, and I don’t think I really need to summarize why.  Suffice to say that marriage as we have always known it is being evaluated and will likely change in our life times.

The real question is whether that is a good or a bad thing.  I am not going to address that here.

My personal reflections on gay marriage are rather nuanced but in an increasing measure, my views on marriage in general are also subject to a certain amount of personal scrutiny and change.  Neither of these are new things, as far back as 2006 (earlier actually) I was openly posting my thoughts on the real issue behind gay marriage (http://leaningstraightup.com/2006/05/24/marriage-the-constitution-versus-gays-a-shotgun-wedding-town-the-almost-married-clintons-and-my-solution-to-the-whole-debacle/).

In the last few years I have really tried to examine the issue of marriage, with a focus on gay marriage, with the intention of trying to see it from religious, moral, legal and civil rights aspects.  I am deluged by demands of one group to control the debate, and pleas by others to stifle other aspects.
