Fact: Katherine K. Young and Paul Nathanson, professors at McGill
University are very qualified to rebut this argument. They noted in
recent writings that, "One of us is a man, the other a woman. One is a
Jew, the other a gentile. And one is gay, the other straight. Neither of
us opposes gay relationships or civil unions for gay people."
In their writings Young and Nathanson agree that support for
heterosexual bonding through marriage is essential to the well-being of
any society. They contend that despite ambiguity in some of the social
science evidence, "we do know by now that two parents are better for
children than one and that families with both mothers and fathers are
generally better for children than those with only mothers or only
fathers." They add: "That these facts are either ignored or trivialized
by some advocates of gay marriage . . . says something about concern for
children in our time."
Myth: Homosexual marriage is a right.
Fact: People have the right in our society to conduct themselves
immorally between consenting adults. (ie fornication, including multiple
partners at the same time, adultery, and homosexual behaviour.) People
also have the right to express that such behaviour is not in the best
interests of the individuals involved. However, while fundamentalists
argue this behaviour is absolutely not in the best interests of the
individual, family or society they also argue that all neighbours should
be treated with love and respect. Does this mean they must accept that
behaviour as normal, participate or support such behaviour? Absolutely
not, but they should still be friendly, helpful and kind neighbours.
Government has the responsibility to promote healthy practices in
our society. They do this with respect to smoking, alcohol and drugs.
They should also do this by what they promote as good and desirable
sexual relations in society. As such marriage should be considered a
privilege that is extended to people and not a right.
Myth: The Prime Minister must separate his moral viewpoints and his
government ethics.
Fact: There is no such thing as business or government ethics. You
either have morals or you don’t. You cant go to church for a couple of
hours and pretend to have morals and then go to work and ignore them.
When you do that you are pretending to bow down to God for a few minutes
and then bowing down to the Charter of Rights the remaining days. This
is a perfect example of being without integrity or sincerity.
Myth: Homosexual marriage is about rights.
Fact: The issue at the heart of this argument is RESPONSIBLE
GOVERNMENT. The Prime Minister has a responsibility to promote healthy
behaviour for society. Promoting buggery to our children as a healthy
practice is utterly ludicrous from any positive perspective. This is the
desire of the enemies of traditional Christian or Biblical values. They
want the government to promote homosexual behaviour to our children
under the guise of anti-homophobia classes. Prime Minister Harper stand
up for the future of our children, instead of bowing down to the Charter
and activist judges?
Myth: This homosexual right will not lead to polygamy.
Fact: Any activist judge (liberal appointed probably) can base a
decision on polygamy equally as convincing as homosexuality with respect
to the Charter language. Polygamy is an orientation just as
homosexuality is. (Beastiality and pedophialia are also sexual
orientations but since they cant have the permission of the other party
they are in a different class all together.) Note: I say activist
because the Charter itself does not contain sexual orientation it is
something an activist judge decided which is against the rule of law.
Myth: Homosexuality is not a choice.
Fact: Homosexual behaviour is a choice or its rape. It really doesn’t
matter if I’m attracted to every other woman or man in the world. How I
behave is my choice. Some people are more inclined to be physically
abusive then others, some are more inclined to be pedophiles, some are
more inclined to be womanizers, some are more inclined to be
homosexuals, so what? The fact is shown in one study after the next,
that the greatest benefit for society is to have a strong traditional
family unit.
Myth: Jesus did not speak against homosexuality.
