The Controversy over Gay Marriage

As always we have different prospectives on gays or lesbians getting married. You have the "no way" attitude, the "I don’t care as long as it doesn’t effect me" and of course you have the "yes it should be allowed. So here is my resolution on this controvery and how we all can deal with this and be happy.

  

 

Let’s start with the basics first!

1. You do not choose who you love. It just happens  
2. You are born the way you are and what you feel is real 
3. You do not choose to be “straight or gay”. It is who you are. 
4. Marriage is a union of 2 people that love each other and want to express that to the world. 
5. People marry for many reasons, most often including one or more of the following: legal, social, emotional, economical, and religious. 
6. Marriage is a union between two persons, who lived in harmony so absolute with each other, as to be independent of the world outside.  
7. Merriam Webster dictionary: the state of being united to a person of the opposite sex as husband or wife in a consensual and contractual relationship recognized by law (2) : the state of being united to a person of the same sex in a relationship like that of a traditional marriage b : the mutual relation of married persons : wedlock c: the institution whereby individuals are joined in a marriage
8. When you love someone you want to have the ties that bind, in this case I am referring to legal ties that bind. When two people of any sexuality join in marriage they are now partners. Partners in all areas. If one is sick the other can be at the hospital with them. They can make decisions for one another when the other one cannot do this for themselves. 
9. The term marriage merely means to unite as one.

 

So based on the above: whats the big deal?

  

Here are the opposing issues: 

1. Marriage is to be sacred:  
2. Marriage is for raising children.  
3. Gay marriages will lead inexorably to polygamy and other alternatives.  
4. Every public school in the nation will be required to teach this. 
5. The impact on Social Security if there are millions of new dependents that will be entitled to survivor benefits? 
6. This will spread throughout the world. 
7. The Gospel of Jesus Christ will be severely curtailed..

 

Ok, so I know there are many more opposing issues: But these seem to be the main ones so lets look at these.

 

  

Opposing view #1 above: The word Sacred means:set apart for, and dedicated to, some person, place, purpose, sentiment, etc. If two people love each other and want to spend the rest of their lives together…isn’t that sacred..isn’t that be dedicated to?

 

Opposing view #2 above: I have spent the past 10 years (I am female and not homosexual) helping my sister raise her 3 boys and I must say we did a pretty good job of it. Now my sister was married and where did he go? Most men (not all) don’t raise the children anyways because they are to busy. Where as a gay man is generally very loving and very supportive. If only a male and female can do the job of raising children then we have a bigger problem on our hands than gay marriages!

 

Opposing view #3 above: What? polygamy and other alternatives have been going on long before the debate of gay marriage! How do the two have anything in common? Go to Utah and bring up that subject.

 

Opposing view #4 above: Every school will have to teach this…that is not the case and is in fact false. However, schools should teach this and the next generation of “HOMOSEXUALS” will be in these schools! Get real people, maybe if this were taught a lot of the “hate” in this world be reduce. Once people are educated they usually get the point. It is ignorance on a subject that causes problems.

 

Opposing view #5 above: First off every working American will (well maybe the way the country is going there may not be social security) qualify for SSA. When a loved one dies and there benefits are passed on to their family..so what …they worked for them. It is no different than leaving your spouse the house. And if this is a major issue, well lets take it out of the equation for a moment. The spouse left behind would then get a job or already be on SSA or public assistance anyways. What difference does it make what your sex is on this issue?

 

Opposing view #6 above: It will spread? What is it a pandemic? Oh crap…the real news…homosexuals live right next door to you, they go to church with you, they go to the supermarket with you…Get the point?

 

Opposing view #7 above: I saved this one for last as I think this requires some thought. Those of you who believe that gay marriage is wrong because the bible says so….Well let me tell you something! Jesus said for us to love one another, he told us not to judge one another, he told us love our enemies. Don’t preach a section of the bible and then not stand behind the rest. I would have to question then why so many “Christians” who get married and say “for better or for worse until death do us part”, get divorced all the time. Remember Jesus saying worry about the plank in your own eye before telling someone else about the speck in their eye? And above all…each and everyone of us will be judge according to our hearts and that will be an individual thing between God and oneself.
 

Ok so that in a nutshell

 

Since the Term Marriage seems to be such an issue with many many people. What if it were called a loving, caring, two person union in a consensual and contractual relationship recognized by law.

 

  

WAIT: THAT IS THE DEFINITION OF THE WORD MARRIAGE! RATHER THAN CALLING IT A TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE WE WILL NOW CALL IT A NEW CREATION MARRIAGE!

 

  

By the way the definition for traditional is: old-style, outdated, outmoded, out-of-date, old, old-fashioned.

 

The reasons to allow gay marriage….all of the above!

  

How would you feel being “straight” and your spouse gets injured and your not even allowed in the hospital room? You have no say so for their care? You could never walk down the street and hold your spouses hand or give him or her a kiss without being worried you might get jumped. Every time you get together you have to act like your just friends. Just ask yourself this:

 

  

WHO WOULD CHOOSE TO LIVE AS A HOMOSEXUAL WITH ALL THE CRAP THAT COMES WITH IT!

IT IS REAL PEOPLE AND YOU BETTER RECOGNIZE AND CHANGE YOUR VIEWS!

 

  

Just as a side note: I can prove you are born this way…HOW

  

What about the many many people born with both male and female parts? Did they choose to be born that way? Who should they marry
