Wonder, led philosophy through many ages, leading it to metamorphose into, in most cases, irreconcilable tenets, leaving the quest for certainty of knowledge or foundationalism groan in the dark. Process philosophy turns out as veritable option in the faces of yet the uncertainties of the ‘certainties ‘of previous ethical thoughts. The principle of Process Ethics is applied to a current ethical controversy: gay-marriage. This brings to lime-light, the tolerance that should prevail in those countries that tenaciously stick to a previously given ethical norms.
