Marriage, but this definition defies all natural laws that the people of God has left for us thousands of years ago. Religion and God’s views on man laying with man and vice versa has always been a stop sign for America or any country for that matter getting to a place of fully equality. Although 53% of the population favor the legalization of same-sex marriage, when asked in a survey in Princeton, NJ by Frank Newport, “47% of the adult population, are most likely to explain their position on the basis of religious beliefs and/or interpretation of biblical passages dealing with same-sex relations.” Martha Nussbaum says: “I personally favor the solution of leaving civil unions to the state and marriage to religions and other private entities,” which basically mean she thinks that the decision on marriage should be up to religion. 16.6% of America's population are people that don’t particularly believe in any religion but have to be under the rule of religion if religion gets to determine what happens to America is same sex marriage is ok or wrong.
