HERE IS THE QUESTION :
Stephanie Coontz argues that gay marriage does not “radically transform a time-honored [and unchanging] institution” (WP-1-1). She insists that rather than being a “revolution,” gay marriage is simply the next “logical” step in marriage’s ongoing evolution. Explain what she means in relation to the changing ideas, social practices, and laws about three of the following: gender roles, race, sexual orientation, and property. Use specific examples from at least two course readings in addition to Coontz’s essay to develop and support your answer.

USE THIS SOURCES :
Coontz, “Gay Marriage Isn’t Revolutionary: It’s Just the Next Step in Marriage’s Evolution”

1967 Supreme Court case striking down interracial marriage (the Loving case)
