Attachment and partnership between human individuals presdates everything, it's a biological imperative. Many animals mate for life or long term. It has nothing to do with religion. Religion is a social construct which has co-opted various parts of life, not the other way around. It has no right to dictate to society what is allowable, only government has that right, given to it by the people themselves. Marriage is a legal agreement that gives the parties certain rights and responsibilities that single people do not have. Historically governments have discriminated against homosexuals just like they've discriminated against other minorities. Discrimination is wrong. That religion promotes discrimination doesn't excuse it. Some people think homosecuallity isn't acceptable, but it's something that occurs naturally in various species, including humans.
