There's something to be said about the cumulative change in the human perception of gay marriage. Even though countries have been legalizing for years, and the U.S. is on the fast track to join them, we have to understand that he fight is nowhere near over globally, and may not have any measurable path in continuing forward.
In some nations, such as Uganda and Iran, engaging in homosexual intercourse is one of the worst crimes one can commit, entailing almost immediate death the prosecuted.
These nations cite religious works as their basis for enacting these draconian measures, but once again we are left with the question, why is being gay a crime in the first place?
I'm not just talking about the religious context here, but what's within it. Why do religious works see gay sex as a crime? Why is something two consenting parties engaged in illegal? There's nobody being hurt, there's no safety risk, and it's not draining the nations resources. This is baffling.
