Explanation:
The tide of marriage for same-sex couples has ebbed and flowed over the last decade with no end in sight. Because marriage sits squarely at the intersection of religion, law and society, the discussion around same-sex couples’ inclusion into the institution of marriage has been one of the most complex and hotly contested topics in America.

Gay “Marriage” Harms Traditional Marriage
What happens over time?
According to the Family Research Council, "A man and a woman joined together in holy matrimony is the time-tested “yardstick” for marriage". So because homosexuality was not allowed one hundred years ago and same-sex marriage was the only right way that makes it the "yardstick" of tradition? Tradition is not always best. In many cases, with time comes knowledge and we are able to reform our ways for the better rather than relying on the beliefs of the past. It could be possible that in the next twenty years a new invention will replace the yardstick, even though now we can't see that possibility.
