What's Wrong with Gay Marriage
When you celebrate and embrace something that is abnormal and unhealthy, you turn reason and common sense on its head.
I believe in allowing all free people, including homosexuals, to live and let live. That is the definition of tolerance. I have a close family member who is homosexual. I have affection for him and his partner. But I am opposed as elevating the status of a homosexual couple to the level of the intact family. The intact family is special. The intact family is the foundation that our society is built upon.
Today's popular culture considers diversity a virtue, in and of itself. I disagree. Due to the celebration of diversity, many negative behaviors have been wrongly, embraced, celebrated, and encouraged. As a result, the out-of-wedlock birth rate has increased to 40%. The single mom is celebrated as a selfless hero. The blended family (like the Brady Bunch) is embraced. Mixed religion marriages are embraced by both sides of many families. Homosexual couples are wrongly considered equal to intact nuclear families.
In order to help individuals feel better about themselves, our society as a whole is suffering.
In my opinion, high levels of crime, poverty and ignorance are the direct result of the breakdown of the family unit. We can not tolerate this high percentage of flawed homes for our children. Children need to grow in an environment where the innate characteristics of a man and a woman, complement each others strengths and restrain each others weaknesses under the guidance of a higher power.
It has been statistically proven that children who grow up in intact families, are more likely to become an asset to society rather than a detriment and drain. Our society and nation have been built on the foundation of predominantly nuclear families, close family relations and universal spiritual principles. I believe that our society will crumble without the foundation of a strong family unit that embraces the universal spiritual principles that this nation was founded upon. I believe that it is paramount to celebrate, embrace and encourage the intact nuclear family and to be humbled and guided by a higher power. I see this foundation becoming diluted and I see today's popular culture becoming confused, distracted, corrupted, misguided and weakened.
As a result,today's popular culture has lost the ability to distinguish between, good and bad, right and wrong, normal and abnormal, healthy and unhealthy, constructive and destructive, considerate and inconsiderate, brave and cowardly, modest and lewd, vulgar and polite, acceptable and unacceptable, respectful and contemptuous, virtuous and shameful, tolerant and intolerant, intelligent and ignorant, etc. As a result, commonsense and reason have been turned on their heads.
Without guidance from commonsense, reason and a higher-power (universal spiritual principles), emotions will prevail. Thus, any type of behavior becomes justifiable. The inevitable result will be less freedom, less prosperity and less safety for all.
