Isn’t the requirement of marriage as evidence of commitment unfair since homosexuals are not permitted to marry?
No; what’s really unfair is placing children in homes that we know are statistically unstable. That is never in the best interest of the child. At the heart of this question is the definition of marriage. The definition of marriage has been decided overwhelmingly in Tennessee when 81% of voters amended their constitution to recognize only marriages between one man and one woman. But, again, the issue in the context of homosexual cohabitation is the value of dual gendering modeling for children that arises from the complementary nature of men and women.
