GAY MARRIAGE: THE DATABASE ENGEERG PERSPECTIVE

I have never seen a paper talkg about gay marriage that was entertag, don't matter if you're for or agast , still an entertag read, now THAT's how articl about current issu should be wrten! I n't e rell the relatnal schema, (The dutch support gay marriage sce que a while) but one terrtg thg that was implemented, and that you should add (jt for fun;-) is the 'age-name' for married begs: (In the Netherlands) you n nowadays choose what age-name you want: partner1's;partner2's;partner1s-dash-partner2's of partner2's-partner3s. I'm not a database expert, but I equently teach programmg languag, and am currently teachg a bunch of llege sophomor Prolog, which many of the classic troductory exercis volve fay relatnships.

Please expla how reproductive geics factors to a homosexual marriage, or why "grossns" is a reasonable limer tra-fay marriage, but bigoted when applied to homosexual relatnships?

Let me also make clear I am not opposed to civil partnerships that afford homosexual upl the rights of herance and other issu that plague the upl difficult tim (such as beg unable to enter fay-only hospal areas). As a speci and culture, the man-woman unn is fundamental to our propagatn and evolutn (no matter how they try, a homosexual uple nnot achieve natural procreatn) and a special signatn should be rerved for this unn. As a gay man, and given the subject matter, I am shocked and awed by the sheer STRAIGHTNESS of attus exprsed throughout this page (not that I n swear to have read EVERY le of your this, Sam).

GAY MARRIAGE OM A DATABASE ENGEERG PERSPECTIVE

Steve (2008-11-29), you're talkg TOSH when you say "'s been my experience that wh any gay uple, one ually assum the role of the male and the other assum the role of the female". Of urse, you don't want to e this argument too much whout some clarifitn bee you're not gog to like when you n to someone who says "I'll adm homosexualy is a natural thg, occurs naturally.

HISTORY OF GAY MARRIAGE

Really, the only b that was strange to my md was the ia that poly relatnships would have everyone volved married to everyone else; that's certaly not how I've seen them, they've tend to be graphs as the 14th schema but the 12th and 13th schemata are much rarer (I don't even know of anywhere that legally regnis or regnised them, though I'm sure anthropologists and historians n fd exampl, though I'm jt as sure they'll largely be ignored - there are already plenty of people who thk gay marriage is some sort of new thg, and not largely the artefact of lolised cisns and the historil accint of Rome's legacy to Christendom meang that the ban on gay marriage the 5th Century CE end up havg wi-rangg effects). Ironilly, this now allows for the endg of the fact that some forms of marriage (many relig marriag, and backwards legal jurisdictns) are ed male-female only (wh varyg gre of ncepts as to what f "male" and "female", wh for example Iran banng gay marriage - or any homosexual activy - but allowg post-op MTF transsexuals to marry men). I propose to ll this stcture eher the "njugal disjot-set data stcture", or, if ed for homosexual purpos, a "civil unn-fd data stcture", and i wrote this entire ment merely so i uld make those two extremely weak puns.

Gay marriage: the database engeerg perspective is a rather old article on how gay marriage (and other typ of marriag) n affect technology, but somehow I missed for all the years.

There is absolutely no set of facts which n prove "gay sex is morally wrong" or "gay sex is morally acceptable" most one n do is show that some more generally accepted subjective value impli the a specific subjective value. The clost gay marriage to the problems is that expos the herent sexism child ctody issu, sce wh two men there's not a mother volved who the urt n prume is the better a libertarian, theory I favor gettg the state out of the marriage bs, but practice, marriage is a eful bundle of rights and rponsibili. First gay marriage beme accepted, and now polygamy is beg while logilly polygamy don't flow om gay marriage, I thk that the opponents of gay marriage are rrect that acceptance of gay marriage is a step towards the likely future acceptance of polygamy.

You don't have this cross-set matchg which seems necsary for the stable marriage problem: you ed have a sgle-set stable roommat problem, or perhaps two such sgle-set problems, one for gay men and one for lbians.

Dpe major chang laws and norms surroundg the issue of same-sex marriage and the rights of LGBT people around the world, public opn on the acceptance of homosexualy society remas sharply divid by untry, regn and enomic velopment.
