Christians against all marriage not just between homosexuals

This article presents an interesting viewpoint that for much of history, instead of arguing over homosexuality, Christian debates have argued over heterosexual relationships. Many religious leaders throughout time, have argued that celibacy is the best option. However, this demand isn't feasible for the majority of people so marriage is permissible in order not to fall into deeper sin. This follows along the lines of Luther's stance on marriage. Also, sex should be used as a procreational means and not for pleasure.
Additionally, more-so than Christians encouraging and defending the state of marriage pagans have made more effort.
Lastly, the author proposes that the debate of homosexual marriage should include the perspective of past Christian stances.
