Is Homosexual marriage a right or privilege?

First, God created the institution of marriage between opposite sexes. A nation build on Christianity and under god, religious beliefs found to be just as important as the political one on equality. Traditionalist argue that marriage between a man and a woman should not be changed because of “prism of contemporary American society” (Campbell & Robinson, 2007, p. 131). This is the refracting of understanding of scripture. As Montgomery (2003) states in Kingston-Whig Standard “God is still the supreme ruler of this land, and neither the multicultural program of liberalism nor the strong homosexual political machine can change that, no matter how hard they try” ( para. 8) . Regarding the war on gay marriage the public opinion constitutes a “hard case” for the cultural war of gay marriage (Campbell & Robinson, 2007, p. 134).Indeed conservatives give a strong argument for gay marriage using equality and rights while, traditionalists use the moral use to oppose gay marriage, both use God to argue this point.
