		<description>While I commend and admire the intellectual discourse above, i fear that it might all be an exercise in futility.

All the relevant laws involved in this issue were drafted and implemented under a regime and mindset antithetical to what supports &quot;free love&quot;.  With our history and culture as a backdrop, highly doubt we&#039;ll see THE change in our lifetimes.  Yet I hope that I do.

Until then, to argue for same-sex marriage utilizing the laws as they are now would be like Sisyphus and his rock--only more cruel because the hardship is undeserved.

hey fred. hope you&#039;re well.</description>

		<description>Wow, very nice contentions... Aren&#039;t there any other opinions? I seem to agree with Lito... but I haven&#039;t thoroughly comprehended yet the interpretation of the Supreme Court about Art. 26. Probably it&#039;s high time for me to go back reading my books, hehehe... But if you could give me a url of your basis Lito, I would very much appreciate it.</description>

		<description>Thank you for your presumption Deidy15 and Atty.

My point is there appears to be a presumption that same-sex marriage is one of the exceptions under Art. 26, a special provision, based on the doctrine of inclusio unius est exlusio alterius. For this reason, one may presume that same-sex marriage legally celebrated abroad would not be considered invalid because Art. 26 does not include the requirement that parties shall be a man and a woman.

At is it presently expressed and worded, Art. 26 conflicts with the general provision of the Family Code where marriage is a union founded on distinction of sex, a requirement under the provisions of legal capacity.</description>
