This whole gay marriage issue is being supported because it generates money.
Think about it, marriage is a sacred bondage spiritually with a man and woman. That is a religious affair, now we have contracts, now why exactly do we have them? To legally bond with the same gender? Now that completely smudges the idea of marriage, to legally be together (and that reason only). Now here comes the part where it generates money, what if you were to get a divorce? The man is with the man, the women is with the women, that is a bondage and that's it. We don't need the legal papers to get involved.
I'm not talking about if same-love marriage is right or wrong, I'm talking about why the government supports it.
Well for the most part, half of the government
doesn't support it.
Legal papers and marriage have been around for as long as marriage itself.
You see, at one time women were viewed as dependent on their men. When a father gave up his daughter to be married to a man, it was now the husbands duty. Seeing as a woman couldn't own property or vote, the man had to bind to her in a contract so in case he was hurt or killed, the woman could continue to survive with her children and keep all of his property. Else they'd say: "she's a woman" and take it all away, no matter how much she loved him.
Religion at the time was a far more influential "government" than the actual state that existed in most countries, so it was usually up to the churches to perform these binding contracts. They made a big deal out of it, calling a ceremony before God and all that, but it really wasn't anything more than a legal conference.
Marriage as it is thought of isn't really what it is. I mean, you can take it for something holy or what have you, but the reality is it's always been about that legal bond, and such, if a man and man want that same bond now because it actually is about love and not about property (but the property issues still have a great deal to do with taxes and legalities, so it's just as important).
