I doubt anyone ever asked the Buddha about marriage equality. But that doesn’t matter. We have the Teaching. The Compassion and the Wisdom the Buddha asked us to use to guide our lives will help us formulate an answer.
The same with any question we face as a Sangha or as an individual.
We should always remember what the Buddha told the Kalamas, “…after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conductive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.”
And he also said the opposite, if it does not, after analysis, agree with reason and is not conductive to the good of one and all, then let it go.
