The terrible injustice of same-sex ‘marriage’: my story

Image
Image via CrunchBase SAN DIEGO, CA , March 26, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - I saw an “ALL love is equal!” graphic posted up and down my news feed on Facebook this morning. It’s designed to strike a chord with a person ’s sense of justice and compassion, of course; quick and manipulative slogans are the fodder of politics – and fools. My liberal arts-educated mind kicked in immediately, screaming, “No it isn’t!” Deliberately disregarding the intended purpose of the graphic, I lectured my computer screen, “There are filial, agape, eros…” But, more to the point, although love is most certainly a prerequisite for marriage (these days, at least), it certainly is not the only one. It is not enough. Marriage is life-giving. It is procreative. It involves children. Is it not more honorable to care for the wellbeing of children above the love – whatever love it might be – between adults?

As more children grow up without a married mother and father, they will be deprived of the tangible and intangible benefits and security that come from that family structure.

Homosexual activists say that having both a mother and a...

Same-sex adoptions spells abuse

Image via Wikipedia Author: Bill Meuhlenberg The push for same-sex parenting rights is constantly on the boil. Right now the New South Wales government hasjust passed a homosexual adoption bill in the Lower House . As usual, the well-being of children is not the focus, but the selfish wants of adults. Children are just guinea pigs in this radical social experiment. Indeed, one must recall why adoption laws have been established in the first place. Because young children are so vulnerable, the aim of adoption has been to provide the child in question with a secure, permanent, legal family.  The paramount concern in adoption has been the best interests of the child . Thus only the best families have been allowed to adopt, not just “good enough” families.  The issue of homosexual fostering is really all about homosexual rights, not the interests and needs of children. Can a homosexual couple love and nurture a child? Undoubtedly many can. But that is not the issue. As the...
