After reading today’s news and noting how much uproar is created by gays in pursuing their causes, I’m wondering why more hasn’t been made out of that unnatural union of two males or two females? And make no mistake, it is unnatural.
The furor over California’s passage of proposition 8 and subsequent statements made by the Governor and a couple of Mayors indicate that “the will of the people” be damned, they want gay marriage and they want it now.
The requisite statement: I have nothing against gays or lesbians. Now, the qualifier: except when it comes to equating a gay or lesbian couple to a heterosexual couple. If two men or two women want to live together, have sex together, buy a home together, or play Scrabble together, I don’t care, that’s their business. But when gay couples demand to be recognized as “equal” to a heterosexual couple, I have a problem with that - specifically relating to “gay marriage.”
Those of us against a redefinition of traditional marriage to include same-sex couples, are accused of all sorts of vile things and are told that Jesus would support gay marriage – what a crock.
Human males and females are specifically constructed to fit together for the purpose of procreation – assuring survival of the species. It doesn’t matter whether you attribute that design to God or to “Mother Nature/evolution, it really doesn’t matter – the fact remains that men and women are designed to fill a need together. Two men can’t produce offspring, nor can two women. There is a difference.
For the life of me I can’t figure out why I have never seen this point made before when discussing gay marriage. I’m sure that many others have formed the same conclusion – but I don’t ever recall seeing that cold, hard biological fact ever being brought into the discussion. A hetro couple can reproduce – a gay couple can’t – is there any argument on that score? I’ll be really interested to hear of any attempt at rebuttal (no pun intended) of that conclusion. Ergo, a hetro couple’s value to the human race is greater than a gay couple. They are not, and can never be, equals.
And I’m not coming to that conclusion based on religious grounds. Simply on physical capabilities designed into the human body. If gay couples want a “civil union” to give them legal rights similar to hetro couples, ok – that’s not unreasonable. But the demand that they be treated as “equals” is itself, unnatural.
