 I have nothing against homosexuals. People can love and live with whomever they want, in whatever arrangement they desire. And if Marriage was just “a contract between any two people”, I wouldn’t be against same-sex marriage. But Marriage doesn’t just affect the people getting married- it affects any Children who are brought in from a previous relationship/ adoption/ donor, or who may be adopted/ created in the future. Advocates of Gay Marriage often use this Bible quote to argue for their cause: "Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; give and it will be given to you...For the measure you give will be the measure you receive." (Luke 6:37, 38b) Many gay marriage advocates are wrong to think that those of us who support traditional marriage (one man one woman) are all “judging” gay people. We are not. I believe gay people have a right to enter into civil unions (giving them the same legal benefits and protections as heterosexual couples), but that doesn't trump a child's right to have a mom and dad. Having children is not a "right". Children have rights. | ArchivesMay 2009 Categories |
