I maintain that essentialism about the female-woman and about the male-manis both unjustified and foreboding of types of stereotypical heterosexual relationships between females-women and males-men, which are wrongly claimedto be «normal» and «natural». Essentialism and heterosexual relationships arecelebrated in what is still deemed in many countries (Italy included) the only«true» marriage: the heterosexual one between a (the) female-women and a (the)male-man. Since essentialism is unjustified, and there is almost nothing «normal»or «natural» in heterosexual marriage, I argue that familiar arguments in favor ofheterosexuality, and against homosexuality fail and, in the end, are imbued withstrong prejudices, as well as with heterosexism and heteronormativity. In conclusion,I find good reasons in favor of same-sex marriage.
