I believe that you have confused what is possible with what may be
desirable. While you may believe that gay marriage is not desirable.

It
is
undeniably possible.

A parallel can be drawn between a state of war and gay marriage as war

may
not be desirable, in this world it is most eminently and quite

apparently
possible.

Try to remember this differentiation between that which is desirable and
that which is possible.


I have confused nothing. Marriage between persons of the same sex is
impossible.


You see, once more you have engaged in an erroneous usage of the language.

Marriage, is a socio-politico-religous institution and therefore may change
in accordance with whatever is acceptable within the many multitudes of
social, political and religious institutions of the world which are many
more than most people fully comprehend. Within that framework, marriage
between two individuals of the same sex is eminently a possibility.

Now, I am rather hard pressed to come up with something that is an absolute
impossibility save that any behavior is impossible among the many and
diverse social-political-religious institutions of the world or that any
particular form of behavior by homo sapiens sapiens is impossible is as
close to impossible as one may find in the world.
