I’m posting a recap on my argument on why gay marriage is wrong. If anyone can give any suggestions to give my recap a punch or articles that sway in my favor, please do so. Gay marriage was brought up in one other forum and almost everyone seems to be for it. I entered the discussion, and tried to my best to stand up for the church. Now, that the debate’s dying down, I want to deliver one more punch and maybe you guys can help me out here.
As a Catholic, I believe that gay marriage is wrong because it is not open to life, unhealthy to its participants and is an attempt to break the definition of traditional marriage. Marriage is a union between a man and a woman. It allows the couple to grow in unity and give birth to new life. Sex is both procreative and unitive, sex must be open to life. Homosexual sex on the other hand isn’t, for under no circumstance is it possible for two people of the same sex to bear a child.
I think every child should have the right to be brought up by both a father and a mother and I think it is wrong for homosexual people to adopt children. I personally can’t imagine myself as I am today had I been raised by two men or women. And I don’t think anyone would want their children to grow up in a homosexual environment either. A homosexual lifestyle has been statistically proven as unhealthy. Homosexual lifestyles place its participants at a higher risk of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases. Moreover, homosexual relationships have also been known to be short-lived and are overall, a bad environment to raise children. Traditional Marriage improves the health of its participants while homosexual relationships do the opposite.
I agree that homosexuals should be treated with respect and compassion but to legalize marriage between the same sexes is wrong.
Sex is both sacred and holy and I believe traditional marriage should be defended. For the sake of young children, the health of others, and for the Church and her duty to defend the holy sacrament of matrimony, I am against gay marriage.
