The current debate centers on how long certain states will be able to retain their statutory and constitutional bans on same-sex marriage.
Debates start with a proposition or statement
In the United States, the debate on same-sex marriage began in earnest in 2000. It has continued to date, 11 years later, and shows signs of increasing in intensity.
To reinforce or weaken what has been instituted is unfortunately one's point of view, and the debate will be vast.
Same-sex marriage
The debate on gay marriage began, because the gay community started fighting for equal rights. But most religious and/or close minded people decided it was against them, even if the gay community wasn't doing any harm getting married.
In a debate in September 2011, Governor Tomblin, who is seeking reelection, stated that he is against marriage equality.
It doesn't at the moment, but ultimately, the Supreme Court will be asked to rule on the constitutionality of gay marriage bans across the country.
Separation of Church and StateDiscrimination on the Basis of Sexual Orientation
If you are talking about non-Abrahamic religions in Asia, then the answer is no, although it is a topic of debate within Buddhism, and Liberal Buddhists support the idea, though Buddhists as a whole do not accept gay marriage.
That is a matter of belief. An atheist would say that God plays no role, since he doesn't exist.For Christians; if you base your marriage or relationship on God's principles according to the bible, you will have a long and happy marriage! Of course, what the exact principles are, is a matter of debate, and even Christians get divorced.
Same sex or gay marriage has been the topic of intense debate. Even though there are some that do not agree with the action of same sex/gay marraige, it is real and ceremonies are performed all around the world.
Stating your position is how you say what your opinion is on a subject. For example, people will state their position on gay marriage or abortion during a debate (being for or against the subject).
