Anthropology and Gay Marriages
As Americans, we who consider ourselves a moral majority generally view the idea of gay marriage as some sort of social taboo.

Puritanical influence suggests anything outside of a man-woman marriage relationship would be considred socially unacceptable. Anthropological research, however, shows that there are many culturally diverse forms of marriage which have gained social acceptance in the Western world.
