relationship between one man and one
woman”
4. Arguments against gay
marriage(tradition)
Until the past 10 or 20 years, no society had
ever sanctioned marriage between same-sex
partners.
According to Rod Dreher of the Dallas
Morning News, “Another reason people oppose gay
marriage is because the belief that its supporters are
all willing to force their own particular view of
marriage and its meaning on an unwilling society”.

Gays and lesbians have been given a few rights from
various state and federal laws.

favored civil unions; today that number is 57%.
