same sex marriage is new

Historical First

My response to an article on cultofmac

The timeline of this article is not correct and is biased against marriage. Leaving out prop 22 in 2000 is not honest.
Although homosexuality has been around for millennia, the idea of homosexual marriage is a first in history. Why didn't ancient greeks or egyptians have same sex marriage? Because it doesn't make sense. It has never been done for obvious reasons. Marriage is for a man and woman.
Trust the vote of the people on the definition of marriage. When this issue came to ballot in 2000, marriage was defined by law as a man and woman. Gavin Newsom violated the law with his ceremonies and they were nullified in 2004.
The judges stepped in and forced a vote to define marriage in the constitution. When it passes all the ceremonies will again have to be nullified. Very shameful. Apple should have stayed out of it. I will delay my purchase of an iphone until they make this right.
