The world is gradually absorbing democratization and laws are becoming more loyal, including homosexual aspects. Homosexuality has always existed, but it has never been as widespread and open as it is today. Nowadays, people can openly declare their sexual orientation and, like everyone else, want to live a full life: have a spouse, celebrate wedding ceremonies, give birth and adopt children. However, not all countries and states guarantee the right to same-sex marriage. While Andrew Sullivan spoke about civil marriage equality, Lisa Miller reveals the problem of religious recognition of marriage, but both agreed that homosexual couples are more stable than heterosexual unions. According to Miller's thoughts expressed in the book "Our Mutual Joy: The Religious Case for Gay Marriage", one of the global aspects of the gay marriage issue is religion because none of the official religions in the world recognize homosexuality. The influence of religion on society is still very powerful. Most priests adhere to the expression in Leviticus "You shall not have intercourse with men as with women: it is an abomination" (p30). Those who oppose the creation of same-sex families argue that marriage is always a kind of union between two people of different sexes, intended to bind father and mother to their children. If anyone tries to change it, marriage will cease to be marriage. The premise is correct, but the result seems completely wrong. Proponents of this view are wrong when they say that marriage performs only one task. Indeed, there are many functions. Marriage certainly binds biological parents to their children, but by allowing gay marriage we do not change anything in this area. Not only do biological parents create... middle of paper ... ...lizing such unions, we emphasize that marriage is something that should be pursued by all Americans without exception. Nor should we forget the fact that many same-sex couples raise children. “All are created equal” is the main idea that recurs in both essays, whether it presents itself as Miller's religious aspect or Sullivan's civic procedure. Homosexuality is not a disease, not a pathology, but just one of the variants of interpersonal relationships. Such families could be complete and functional. Homosexuals can give the same good upbringing, education and healthcare to their children, as well as others. The only thing that hinders the development of gay marriage today is precisely this society, the contempt and protests that lead to stereotypes and homophobia, and therefore do not allow to create a healthy atmosphere for the development of future generations.
