It?s not surprising, therefore, that with the push for same-sex marriage the male/female difference?so crucial to the way in which the Song of Songs points toward God?s love for us and our yearning love for God?is also dropping out. As the natural signs are obscured, the logic of Judeo-Christian marriage seems more and more not a logic at all, but only an arbitrary dictat of tradition."
