Gone are the days of traditional values, of moral standards a person can be proud to call his own. In today’s ever liberal society, homosexual relationships have been more and more a part of the comfortable about their sexual orientation. Yet the concept of two people of the same sex maintaining an intimate relationship is not the way coupling was intended, men and women create a pair, not men with men or women with women. It is simply an inappropriate arrangement, teetering heavily on the immoral side, as well as to indulge in a same sex marriage.

While some religions may be more tolerant with regard to same sex marriages, the Catholic Church is not ashamed to state its opposing position on the subject. Perhaps no other entity is so damning when it comes to the treatment of homosexuals. “

There have been many debates as to whether homosexuality is a preference or a genetic predisposition.

What is preferred within the homosexual world are the words “manifestation” or “orientation,” as they apparently better convey the fact that theirs is an innate desire rather than an alternative.

Children require a stable, traditional home life if they are expected to grow into normally functioning adults. This cannot be obtained from a home where both parents are of the same sex. Each parent represents a much needed entity in the growth of a child. The mother provides stability and sanctity, while the father contributes strength and a work ethic. Each role is distinctly different and cannot be substituted by the opposite sex. To afford mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical balance to the family atmosphere, it must have an equal representation of both the feminine and masculine sides.

With respect to one’s freedom, it can be said that people will do what they deem appropriate for themselves. However, such liberties must be kept to oneself and not thrust into the public eye. Only when the people make it clear they will not be overrun by the immorality of homosexual activity taking precedence within the cultural makeup, will the truth be realized that same sex marriages are not in keeping with a respectable society.
