We Should Stand Up for Gay Marriage
Imagine if the articulate or country you lived in would not allow you to marry someone you wanted to marry. Gay couples do not procure the same rights as other couples and face discrimination in some societies. I think queer couples should get the same rights as other couples.
Many churches oppose same-sex attracted marriage because they think it is against the will of God and the teachings of the church. In fact, some parts of the Bible do oppose male lover marriage. I consider this is incorrect because any couple should be allowed to get married wherever they need, and gay people shouldn’t be forbidden from getting married in church because of who they are.
Even people who are not regular churchgoers oppose queer marriage for many different reasons. The arguments include: lgbtq+ marriage breaks tradition, gay couples can’t have kids, having a mom and dad is beat for kids, queer marriage can guide to polygamy, male lover marriage weakens the tradition of marriage and being queer is wrong.
I consider these six arguments are wrong and here are some reasons why. Traditions can change over time and we can always append new traditions into old ones. For example, it used to be tradition that a pale
What Does the Bible Say About Homosexuality?
What Does The Bible Speak About Homosexuality?
Introduction
For the last two decades, Pew Explore Center has reported that one of the most enduring ethical issues across Christian traditions is sexual diversity. For many Christians, one of the most frequently first-asked questions on this topic is, “What does the Bible utter about attraction to someone of the same sex?”
Although its unlikely that the biblical authors had any notion of sexual orientation (for example, the phrase homosexual wasn't even coined until the late 19th century) for many people of faith, the Bible is looked to for timeless guidance on what it means to honor God with our lives; and this most certainly includes our sexuality.
Before we can jump into how it is that Christians can maintain the authority of the Bible and also affirm sexual diversity, it might be helpful if we started with a brief but clear overview of some of the assumptions informing many Christian approaches to understanding the Bible.
What is the Bible?
For Christians to whom the Bible is God’s very written word, it is widely understood that God produced its content
Why “Gay Marriage” Is Bad
Question:
Why is gay marriage or sexual relations bad?
Answer:
First, it’s important to message that there can be no such thing as “marriage” between two members of the similar sex. This is because marriage by nature is a union that is ordered toward the procreation and education of offspring, which necessarily involves both male and female. So, to talk about “gay marriage” is an unintelligible phrase, akin to a “square circle.”
With regard to why sexual activity among members of the same sex is bad, we must look to the world of sex and what is good and bad given our nature as human beings.
What is good for us as human beings is determined by the ends of our inherent capacities. Just as it is superb for a pencil to inscribe, and it is good for an oak tree to sink roots deep into the soil and take in nutrients and water for its growth, it is good for a human being to know truth and avoid error, to live in society, to propagate its possess species, to take in nutrients for human growth, etc.
The wonderful in the sexual arena, therefore, will be the achievement of the ends toward which our sexual faculties are naturally ordered. When we look at natu
Bad Arguments Against Gay Marriage
Abstract
This article claims that three common arguments against same-sex attracted marriage - the definitional, procreation, and slippery-slope arguments - are quite unpleasant , the worst of the lot. The definitional argument asserts that marriage just is the union of one man and one woman, and that the definition alone is a sufficient defense against claims for gay marriage. The procreation argument claims that marriage's central public purpose is to encourage procreation, and so the exclusion of same-sex couples is justified. The slippery-slope argument claims that the acceptance of same-sex marriage logically entails the acceptance of other public policy changes - notably the acceptance of polygamy - that would themselves be awful, independent of whether same-sex attracted marriage is bad. While each argument has some appeal, and each has adherents both inside and outside the legal academy, each is badly flawed as a matter of logic, experience, politics, or some combination of the three. The article suggests that in the interest of focusing on the most important concerns about gay marriage, commentators should move on to other arguments against it that seem stronger and thus
