La primera pareja que será casada será la de la foto de arriba, Del Martin y Phylis Lyon llevan juntas más de 50 años. La ceremonia será en el hermoso edificio de la alcaldía de San Francisco.
El NYT sacó un artículo muy interesante, sobre como este nueva oleada de matrimonios gays están dando nuevos datos a los demógrafos de la sexualidad para entender mejor el problema (en el sentido académico) del matrimonio en la postmodernidad. Y parece que los matrimonios con personas del mismo sexo pueden enseñar mucho:
A growing body of evidence shows that same-sex couples have a great deal to teach everyone else about marriage and relationships. Most studies show surprisingly few differences between committed gay couples and committed straight couples, but the differences that do emerge have shed light on the kinds of conflicts that can endanger heterosexual relationships.
The findings offer hope that some of the most vexing problems are not necessarily entrenched in deep-rooted biological differences between men and women. And that, in turn, offers hope that the problems can be solved.
Next week, California will begin issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples, reigniting the national debate over gay marriage. But relationship researchers say it also presents an opportunity to study the effects of marriage on the quality of all relationships.
