But such unions are given all 300 or so rights and benefits available under state law to married couples. This poses a problem for the other forty nine states.
Lets consult the Bible.
The Bible does not seem to indicate that it is wrong for men and women to enjoy lawful sexual union, but the pleasures derived are not the primary purpose of the union. Rather, the primary purpose was, and still is, procreation. God made the union pleasurable to assure there would be procreation. Same sex marriage is contrary to nature. The answer is evident.
