Same Sex Marriage Myths Abound!

Myth: Only homophobic Neanderthals object to same sex marriage.

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.

Fact: Jesus pointed to creation as the ideal for marriage. Man and woman fit together perfectly and are designed for such activity. The human body was not designed for buggery, hence the numerous problems that result. Jesus did not speak directly about homosexuality or pedophilia or beastiality for that matter, but God already had and the people he was addressing knew better. The problem was polygamy and wife swapping and he addressed it with creation – saying that creation demonstrated the relations that God intended for mankind. The law is very clear on this and that men should be proud to be men and women should be proud to be women. Note: Homosexuals haven’t devalued marriage in our society -- they are the result of a devaluing of sexual morality just as increased poverty and violence are.
