There is a good book regarding this, not really controversial but it is faith based..."Wild At Heart," by John Eldridge. It gives his view that men were created to be leaders, to be explorers and adventurers, and think the current social trends attempt to dissuade them from doing such. I'm not saying that if you'd rather be involved in art than play football, you're doing something wrong. However, I think the whole push in metrosexual culture is bad for male society. Some people claim it is a good thing, as it emphasizes cleanliness and dressing well, but we've been doing that in the South for a century, while retaining our traditional male roles.

That's great, but it has nothing to do with gay marriage.
