Homosexuality in Society

In the article “10 Reasons Why Homosexual “Marriage” is Harmful and Must be Opposed” written by TFP student action. The author argues against homosexuality. He begins his argument by stating that “Marriage has always been a covenant between a man and a woman” (TFP student action), which is true. Why? because society labeled marriage to be that way. Marriage was created as a promise, one which was between two people to protect, love and care for each other. Marriage was never specified to be between a man and woman, rather, society imposed it to be. TFP goes on by saying that “It violates natural laws”, that “any situation which institutionalizes the circumvention of the purpose of the sexual act violates natural law and the objective norm of morality”(TFP student action), this is false. Homosexuality is part of nature. Not just in human beings, but in many species in the animal kingdom, this is verified by the article  “Do Animals Exhibit Homosexuality?” by Arash Fereydooni, on Yale Scientific magazine. The magazine reads “Homosexual behavior has been documented in over 450 different animal species worldwide. For instance, observations indicate that Humboldt, King, Gentoo, and Adélie penguins of the same sex engage in mating rituals” (Arash Fereydooni). Also, homosexuality has been recorded through out history; ancient Greek and Roman cultures saw homosexuality as a norm, and part of everyday life. TFP also states that "The child will always be deprived of either a mother or a father role model. Same-sex marriage ignores a child’s best interests” (TFP student action), How is it when a child is abused by his mother and father, it is better than having parents of the same sex? or, a child as an orphan living a miserable life, it is better than having parents of the same sex? Why are parents that love, care and nurture children are considered "ignoring a child's best interests" just because the couple consists of two men of two women. There are children in this horrifying/brutal world without guidance, love or nurturing. All because society decided that parents consisting of two men or two women are not fit to be parents. They are not good role models, so its a crime for them to have children. Thus according to society, the children are better off staying on the streets, in orphanages and in abusive families. I would like to conclude by saying, every person has the right to be treated as a person. He or she should have the right to love, live and be loved as any other person in this world.

In the article “10 Reasons Why Homosexual “Marriage” is Harmful and Must be Opposed” written by TFP student action. The author argues against homosexuality. He begins his argument by stating that “Marriage has always been a covenant between a man and a woman” (TFP student action), which is true. Marriage has been a sacred ritual throughout all of history. A marriage between a man and a women celebrates the union between the two sexes, honoring the idea of their loyalty and love to each other. Also, marriage is an initiation to child bearing, the most amazing and magical part of reality, which homosexuals cannot experience. This brings us to TFP’s next point, he states “A child of a same-sex “marriage” will always be deprived of either his natural mother or father” (TFP student action). A growing child needs the nurturing qualities of a mother and the nurturing qualities a father to survive in this world. Obtaining the soft, nurturing love from the mother and the tough, disciplinary love from the father. Not to mention that motherhood and fatherhood are unique experiences. A homosexual mother will not feel the pain/beauty of child birth, just as a homosexual father will not feel the fear/glory of holding his child in his hands. The last point i want to discuss that TFP has mentioned is “It offends God”. TFP states “ Whenever one violates the natural moral order established by God, one sins and offends God. Same-sex “marriage” does just this”. God has created the complex biology of a man and a woman, in order for them to reproduce, and create life. This magnificent process of life is so sacred that, in almost all religion sex is forbidden before marriage. Because sex and reproduction should be shared with someone you truly want to share your life with. If marriage is seen that sacred, it’s rules should not broken. I would like to conclude by saying that homosexuality is not a natural/normal feature humans have. Society should forget homosexuality and should reinforce banning the idea of homosexuality in our modern day.
