The Sorbate: Same Sex Marriage

 So…there are two different perspectives/definitions of marriage.

In a religious, or spiritual context, marriage in the Bible reads that marriage is God’s idea and is a living symbol of the relationship between Christ and the Church. For instance, Genesis 2:18-24 reads, “It is not good for the man to be alone...this explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.” Ephesians 5:31-32 reads, “As the Scriptures say, ‘A man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.’ This is a great mystery, but it is an illustration of the way Christ and the Church are one.(NLV Translation, 2004).

During the last elections in California, a lot of Propositions were being campaigned including Prop 8. It was the proposition that sought to legalize same-sex marriage in California. I thought that being a progressive state, it woud have passed, but it was not the case. It's kind of funny because among the other Propositions that came out was Prop 2. It passed and it is now known as the Standards for Confining Farm Animals or the Prevention of Farm Animal Cruelty Act. Basically, the proposition requires that calves raised for veal, egg-laying hens and pregnant pigs be confined only in ways that allow these animals to lie down, stand up, fully extend their limbs and turn around freely. Now, I have nothing against animal rights, but I think it's ironic that we still have a long way to go with regards to human rights.
