Same Sex Marriage Conundrum
Channel: The Philosophical Angle
Date: 15/04/2013

The Philosophical Angle discusses that the evolution allowed for pair bonding in homo sapiens which facilitated the appearance of marriage which helps insure reproduction.  Thus, there is a quid pro quo: that is, society confers on married couples certain benefits in return for the reproduction of the species.  In same sex marriage, this quid pro quo is lost, and therefore, other types of marriage are a burden and abuse of societal evolution biologically and politically.
