Linking arguments
Governments should recognize both opposite and same sex marriages



Supporting arguments

Adelphopoiesis was a ritual uniting two men or two women in a homosexual relationship akin to marriage. It was practiced in Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches during the Middle Ages. [1] [2]

There is a tomb containing the mummies of a gay married couple (Niankhkhnum and Khnumhotep) from ancient Egypt. [3]


American Indian culture has long accepted sexual and romantic marriages that involve people of the same biological sex, provided that one of them is considered a "Two-Spirit", a person with qualities of both male and female genders. [4]

Opposing arguments

Marriage has taken many forms throughout human history, but it has always been based on opposite-sex couples. There are no traditional same-sex marital institutions. [5]
