My reason for opposing gay marrige is by faith only. In my faith it is wrong so I, by expressing what my faith believes, do not agree with gay marrige. I will not argue from the "it's for procreation" thing, many times in the Bible there were barren women and sterile men who were still married. Therefore that argument does not fly with me. What I said earlier was if we saw it from a evolutionary stand point, so in retrospect if we were going all animal gays would have been weeded out. Thankfully I do not agree with that stand point. I have a gay friend at work who also opposes gay marrige. He does so on the grounds that he has found, by his own practices mind you, that a homosexual couple may not be the best conditions for kids. That is his reasoning, so he figures why get married if he will not have or raise kids.
So far as STDs go, though this is a completely different subject in some ways, people should not have sex until they are married. I bet that if everyone held off from inaproirate sexual behaviour things would be better, and not just because stds would decline. There are many phycological arrguments against premarital sex as well.
Little off topic I know, but you get the point. Like I said, to be honest it is just my faith that leads me to oppose it. I will follow through with what I believe in a contry where I am free to do so. Mind you I do not hate gays at all, like I said I am friends with one. The Bible defines marriage as between one man and one woman, so maybe if it were called something else people would not oppose it as much. I am not sure how I would approach it through my faith, I don't know what the word says about that, but it would surely shake some opposition. However like I stated before, somewhere, Marriage is a Christian institution, made to follow Christian standereds. I know not what the Bible says of different unions, but to be honest I don't like the idea. Couldn't imagine how a man could be attracted to another man... it's weird to me. And again I must raise the idea that it causes many issues with my faith. God didn't create us that way, he made man and woman for a reason. A man, biologically, is ment to be with a woman. We could go over the human anatomy, lol, but that may get a little too graphic.
though I don't hold out hope that Obama will do anything good in that respect. But that too is another disscussion for another time... and thread.
Zoe makes a good point here too. If we redifne marriage, a Christian institution, then we would not be able to discrimante against any one, not even petophiles. What if a man (or woman) convinces a little child (13-15, maybe a little younger) to marry them? Should it be allowed so he/she can fullfill their sexual desires? This generation is too sex driven and does not look at the deeper things in life. That, imo, is why gay people are so adament about this. They want to make their sexual activites lagit. I wonder what would happen if we all looked past the sexual urges and looked for a deeper, more meaningful, connection.
God bless!
