No to Gay Marriage
Image via WikipediaThe standard that establishes that matrimony should be celebrated between people of different sexes has an absolutely objective and reasonable justification, which consists in the interest of the Australian government in granting a privilege to unions that tend to continue the species. To argue that the civil code, is "unconstitutional" because it is "discriminatory" and violates "equality under the law". The full and free consent expressed personally by a man and woman before a competent authority to celebrate it, is indispensable for the existence of marriage. The act that lacks any of these requirements will not produce civil effects.
When a homosexual couple assert a "right" to marry each other they seek to argue that Australia is bound by international treaties to respect their "right of equality", which they believe translates to the "right" to "marry" someone of the same sex.
But based on the very nature of human sexuality as a procreative act, stable homosexual cohabitation corresponds, as a personal decision for each one, to an option that is carried out in the sphere of intimacy. But marriage transcends the sphere of intimacy. The refusal to consider unions between people of the same sex as matrimony, exceeds an exclusively sexual perspective.
To affirm that the union of two homosexual persons should be considered matrimony, is to completely devalue the concept of the institution.
Matrimony is and has been the institution that protects the heterosexual union from which will be born new members -- children -- so that society is not extinguished and so continues the course of life. Any homosexual unions goes against nature and are caricatures of families that have neither a future themselves nor the ability to create a future society.
