gays and lesbians
The tagline for MensNewsDaily.com used to be “Real News for Real Men.” An article written by a supposed real man for the proposed real man in response to a recent ruling in the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court about gay marriages is the subject of this paper. Mark Charalambous’ commentary, articulately entitled “Four Arguments against Gay Marriage,” attempts to demonstrate the rationality of four irrational arguments against gay marriage which were prohibited for discussion by the state’s Supreme Judicial Court’s ruling as of November 18th, 2003. Among these arguments that Charalambous defends are the following: although homosexuality has been practiced and accepted since ancient times, homosexuals were never considered to be on the same level as or as an alternative to marriage and the biological family; the primary significance of marriage is sexual reproduction, an age old solution to survival; and gay parents pose more of a threat of nurturing homosexuality in children than straight parents do.# Reviewing the article numerous times, I was positioned between aggravation and disappointment; it is unfathomable that the author of this commentary could actually be convinced by his support of these ludicrousl
y weak and undeveloped arguments that gay marriage could easily jeopardize all of society. Furthermore, I felt insulted for the men whom this article was initially and audaciously directed to because, judging by the logic behind the piece, a real man would seem to be synonymous with an ignorant and idiotic man. The sagacity that evades Charalambous’ commentary ignites my fierce opposition of his social position on the issue of gay marriage. There are not enough persuasive arguments in Mark Charalambous’ commentary to convince one that gay marriage is indeed a threat to society. As being undoubtedly equal as human beings to heterosexual people, gay people are also relatively equally capable of having children, while raising and nurturing them. It is unfeasible to imagine that there should be such a mass effort to prohibit same-sex partners from fully committing themselves to each other through a bond that heterosexuals may comparatively take for granted. To express their union through the bond of marriage is a privilege they deserve to have because being homosexual is not synonymous with being incompetent, callous, and unequal; being gay, straight, female, or male is synonymous with being human.
