Gay Marriages
When attempting to do research for this paper, I did a Google search for the precious internet sites that Drew doesn’t want me to use. After searching under a mirage of things, I found a site listed under “Gay Marriage Approval” written from the Christian viewpoint. While this site had absolutely nothing original on it, it did have a link to another website that had something very original on it. John A. Bowden, a former “Defense Department consultant specializing in inter-disciplinary long range 'futures' studies for over a decade” wrote a column called “Ten Reasons to Defend Marriage.” While I know I was supposed to do research and show different opinions, I’m going to ‘tweak’ the assignment a bit; I’m going to argue against Bowden’s anti-gay marriage argument and Christian propaganda. The following indented quotes are taken from John Bowden’s “Ten Reasons to Defend Marriage (which can be seen at http://www.americandaily.com/item/1948): 1. Defend Traditional Marriage. The U.S. Supreme Court destroyed state laws governing sexual behavior and imagined a right to sodomy in the Constitution. Now, there is no legal standing for traditional marriage. The Massachus
My main question about this “reason” is that I have no idea what civilizations ever declined due to ‘rampant homosexuality.’ I would personally like to know which one(s) did so I can wonder why I never heard about it. Although it is true that same-sex couples cannot conceive children by themselves, female couples have sperm banks and male friends and family members who can provide semen. Men have female friends and family members who can act as surrogate mothers for them. And then there are the thousands, if not millions, of children who are in the adoption and foster care system who would love to have good, permanent parents, no matter what their sexual preference is. As long as there are people who can’t take care of their own children (and that has nothing to do with homosexuality), the government will be taking them away to try and provide a better life for them by trying to place them somewhere else. There are not enough heterosexual families who want to take them-why not place them with equally qualified homosexual parents? Why does everything have to do with sodomy? There is no right to heterosexual sex in the Constitution either, but you don’t see homosexuals fighting the courts to keep straight people from doing that. Marriage has absolutely nothing to do with sodomy (in theory). I bet that if you were to go into the bedrooms of some straight married couples, you would see some things a lot worse than sodomy. As a child, you always hear about the things that adults can do. That’s the benefit of being an adult: the ability to make your own decisions and to consent to do whatever you want to do. Besides, who says what should not be a law and what should be? The Christian Right? I certainly hope not. Adultery is not a crime, Homosexuality is not a crime, and now sodomy is not a crime either. Get over it. In fact, try it yourself: you might enjoy it. 6. Restore Moral Authority. Destroying the Judeo-Christian American values as the basis of law means there is no legal defense against obscenity, divorce penalties for adultery, etc. No law against incest or bestiality can stand if homosexuality is legal. Restore the moral-ethical basis for all laws. Attention: Priests don’t rule either. In fact, judges have more power over the public than priests (remember: we are a democracy, not a theocracy). Laws will stop being written from the bench when people stop suing over every little thing. It is not just homosexuals that take everything to court-it is the population in general (i.e. the two different ‘family values’ groups that sued as soon as they heard that the city of San Francisco was allowing gay marriages). Christians are just as likely as Homosexuals to sue for certain rights, so if the two groups ever stop bickering, sit down together and talk, most of these judge-made laws would stop happening. 8. Protect Your Children. Homosexuality as a protected minority group will be forced on your children in government schools far beyond today’s propaganda. Children who express an opinion that homosexuality is a moral wrong will be re-educated, ostracized and punished. The Boy Scouts will be forced to accept homosexual leaders and subject children to more sexual abuse - it will be worse than what C
