Biologically speaking marriage is between a male and a female of human species but it is basically from social point of view, a contract in a society and if biology is ignored any two persons can get into this "social contract".
Since the American society has started recognizing as 'married' even if biologically not appropriate, it seems that Supreme court is right. Law is human here and NOT divine that cannot be changed.
From medical point of view the principles are not changed. a child can only be born with the help of a uterus which does not occur in a male and an ovum cannot be fertilized unless a male's sperm is provided with or without a sexual intercourse. Of course there are so many biotechnological possibilities that have opened up a new era of families and "family'' concepts are changing but I do not see a woman or her genital system producing sperms or a man or his genital system producing an ovum.
From family and social point of view what remains to be seen is the children of gay couples and their brought up and their family concepts. Are we going to see no more of a child looking for his/her biological mother as he/she grows up?
I doubt that and problems I see for a 'child' who wants to find his/her biological father is huge because the sperm may have come from some bank. (O yes, these banks sell these things, you want a sperm of a huge athlete? or a remarkably intelligent Lawyer? it will cost you accordingly) That does not apply to egg because child has to develop in a Uterus even if temporarily so the "mother" will have to be the "owner of that uterus", the ovum does not matter here.
I may not live to see those "family problems" but they are bound to come out one day (unless already started but may be hushed by the gay community, who have powerful lobby))
Such changes spread widely very fast in today's world. So I gather there is a gay Imam and a gay masjid in the USA. The Gay imam conducts Muslim wedding between two persons of the same sex The Imam happens to be a convert, a light colored African-American but he/she can be from any ethnic background. God! what are wee learning as Muslims in our old age.
