Private versus public

In politics and in media it is a ragging battle between a religious, anti abortion camp and politically correct, pro gay marriage , pro LGBT camp.
Putting aside the fact that this conflict is exacerbated to deviate the public attention from the real problems, I think that this conflict it is between what we believe it is public and what is private.
The religious camp think that the woman's uterus is public domain and society must have a saying if a woman can give birth to a child or not.
The pro gay marriage camp thinks that we all must acknowledge the sexual deviations of some citizens, and we must guarantee to every body the right to have a family.  The sexual behaviour is of  private sphere and should not interest of the public. Even the most savage tribesmen, people who are naked all the time, are doing sex in private. Why we should acknowledge that Harry and James are making sex? We acknowledge that Mary and James are making sex because Tom must know that Mary's uterus reserved for James, and he should not leave some spermatozoa there otherwise he will be punished. James will not support Mary in raising the children if they are Tom's.
Marriage brings order in society. You know what children you have to raise, and as a parent you are obliged to give them material support.
If in a marriage cannot result children, the marriage is useless.
The gay marriage is a nonsense,even a couple as the Virgin Mary and Jacob, by the grace of God they had a children.
The gay marriage is a invasion of the public sphere by the private sphere.
I don't understand why we as a majority we must conform to a minority when it is not in our interest.
Why we should change our legal system to solve the private matters of John and Harry?
Why it is of public interest to know if John and Harry have sex?
In order to solve this conflict once for all we must define boundaries of private and public.
This is difficult because it is depending on society. The East Asia cultures are more collective and the private sphere is small, while the North European cultures are individualistic and they cherish their intimacy and private sphere.
Now the boundary of private is shrinking but more and more people are sensitive to share information, so in the future it will be cool not to be on Facebook.
