Being Gay and Elderly in Toronto According to Peter Sprigg , author of ``Gay Marriage Questions ' there are two reasons a civil marriage should not be granted for gay couples . One is that since they are relationships and not marriages , they should not be granted . Sprigg says that in order to have a marriage , there must be a union of a man and a woman , not a man and a man . Traditional intercourse cannot take place with two men involved . The second one is that these type relationships are harmful . They do not provide the same benefits as a marriage between a man and a woman , and their consequences are far more negative than positive ( HYPERLINK "http /www .nogaymarriage .com /gaymarriagequestions .html " www .nogaymarriage .com /gaymarriagequestions .html ) Either way , it 's looked at , even with the evidence standing alone , it is enough to not accept the claim that gay couples should be able to legally marry . The first argument is that marriage is an institution that predates the law and the Constitution . Marriage is sociological , not legal . Laws relating to marriage just acknowledge and keep in tact an institution that is already in existence . However , some people believe that marriage is a way of recognizing couples who are in love with each other . With that being said , they want to spend the rest of their lives together .

According to Webster , marriage is a mutual relationship between husband and wife the institution whereby men and women are joined in a special kind of social and legal dependence for the purpose of founding and maintaining a family . Anthropologist Kingsley Davis says that marriage is ``the unique trait of what is commonly called marriage is social recognition and approval .of a couple 's engaging in sexual intercourse and bearing and rearing children ' The question was raised , are married couples without children really in a marriage ? If gay couples are denied to marry , shouldn 't straight couples without children be denied also ? According to what Sprigg had to say concerning marriage and children , this would make sense , would it not ? Not necessarily . If a couple wants children , and for some reason cannot have them , it is not their fault . A couple who decides not to have children may change their minds . At any rate , childless marriages are still acknowledged because if not , it would be an invasion of a heterosexual couples privacy to require that they show intent to bear children , or the ability to have children . So , what is the real purpose of marriage ? Anthropologist Kingsley Davis says that a marriage 's purpose is to socially recognized and... |
