Why I Oppose Gay Marriage

Homosexual activists are demanding that we re-define the word "marriage" to suit their agenda.

IMHO marriage is a monogamous relationship between a man and a woman, usually creating a family in the process. It is unfortunate that marriage is already being debased by a 40% out-of-wedlock birth rate and high divorce rates. This destructive trend needs to be reversed if we are to survive as a culture.

However, by elevating homosexual unions to the level of marriage (by redefining the word and changing the law) you are further diminishing the importance and sanctity of traditional marriage which is the foundation of our society and culture.

In traditional marriage, fidelity is a very important part of the relationship. As a matter of fact, adultery is the most common cause for most divorces. On the other hand, most male homosexual relationships are not monogamous. It is the "norm" for male homosexual partners to regularly enguage in sex outside of the relationship, with the knowledge and approval of the other partner.

This is one aspect of homosexual relationships that is completely different than traditional marriage relationships.

Even if the word marriage is redefined to include homosexual relationships, the relationship will still be very different than a traditional marriage.
