Gay marriage is unnatural

03/17/04 - To the Cigar,
While liberal America pushes for federal legalization of gay marriage, its conservative counterpart clearly possesses the majority in opposing it. A recent NY Times poll showed 61 percent of Americans to opposing gay marriage. If such a dichotomy is to be argued as misleading or stereotypical, let us then examine the beliefs of a few more groups.
Of America's three major religious sectors, all object to homosexual marriage. In the Book of Romans of the Christian Bible, Paul writes, "...for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another: men with men." Jewish scriptures then sternly states, "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is an abomination." Even the Quoran, the Islamic Holy Book, asks, "Would ye really approach men in your lusts rather than women? Nay, ye are a people grossly ignorant!" These quotes, from Holy Books which possess the tenets of 80 percent of America's population and 65 percent of the world's, all clearly oppose homosexuality.
Why then is the majority being labeled "narrow-minded"? It is because both the media and the public school systems have become promoters for a gay subculture. For example, California state employers must promote transexuality as a civil right or risk a $150,000 fine. Foster care parents must take a "diversity" training course that instructs them to support their child's sexual behavior, including cross-dressing. In schools throughout America, many sex-education classes are run by SIECUS, who declare homosexuality to be natural.
Homosexuality, however, is in no way natural. How then can homosexual marriage be? Something unnatural does not perform its proper function. While sex may provide pleasure, its function is to procreate. Gay sex does not do this. It does, however, result in more cases of AIDS than straight sex does. In Holland, where gay marriage has been legal since 2001, HIV has soared among the overall population, with homosexual males representing the increase. The study attributes this to outside lovers which many homosexuals have. I thought marriage was supposed to be monogamous.
