Why is same-sex marriage morally wrong?

Answer 1

Child RaisingGay marriages do not contribute as much to child raising as straight marriages with both a mother and a father. Gay marriages tend to have less children, and none directly created between both partners. Gay marriages are statistically more likely to end up in divorce; some factors may include an unstable nature of marriage, having no directly biologically conceived kids to keep them together.

Biological parents tend to be better parents to children for a variety of reasons:

1. Children's genes make them similar to their parents, so their parents are able to teach them how to deal with specific strengths and weaknesses that a non-biological parent may not have.
2. Genetically, humans are hard-wired to want to further their genetic line. So, biological mothers are genetically more protective of their own kin as are the fathers.

The lack of both a direct female and a male role model can stunt children's emotional growth, making them unable or less able to relate to one or the other sex, or unable to interact properly with people of the other sex.

Gay marriages are inherently unable to have children. Heterosexual marriages which cannot produce children are the exception rather than the norm.

Tax ReasonsMany of the tax codes and laws were created to benefit married couples specifically because they are statistically more likely to raise children; thus these tax breaks would specifically benefit the children. Since Gay marriages typically have no children, or fewer children if any, they should not receive tax benefits designed to help in the raising of children! Religious Reasons In The Bible it says, 'Man shall not be with man, nor woman with woman.' Gays can't really expect Pastors, Priests and Ministers, etc., to go against the beliefs in the Bible which is thousands of years old. Christian Churches are worried that they would be forced to perform gay marriages.

Gays can form their own churches and I do believe that there some gay pastors and ministers. However, no Christian church should close the doors on gays. Most churches don't (at least in Canada), but, if gays enter the church then the church will try to sway (if they know the person is gay) to live a life of purity and heterosexuality.

To gay couples it appears very normal because they honestly love each other. However, to heterosexuals it looks especially strange to see two men saying their vows and kissing or two women doing the same. It's against everything Christians have been brought up to believe in.

A gay relationship is not natural. The Bible says being homosexual shows the deterioration of a society and that it is a rebellion against God.

Answer 2

The "right" or "wrong" of gay marriage is a personal opinion that can be influenced by your heritage, religion, upbringing, friends and family, education, what area of the world you are from, personal experience, advertising and your own personal sexual preferences and life experiences. As with any controversial subjects, there are many facets to the gay marriage discussion.

As with most of life's controversies, he best way to deal with this subject is to make sure you get all of your facts and weigh them carefully, not just listen to what others tell you is right or wrong.

Answer 3

Because for 1 it's in the bible to not like the same sex, and for 2 it's just wrong if you think about it, and here in the USA, we make our laws based on the Bible, and not based on the idea of separation of church and state.

Another View:

It shouldn't be illegal, Some countries may not ever allow it within their borders, but that doesn't make their governments in the right. The US is changing quickly(in the long view) gay marriages will be legal everywhere in this country soon enough.

Answer 4

The Declaration of Independence states our country is to recognize all men as being equal, endowed by our creator with: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness!

What reason is there for me to pay taxes but not have the same tax advantages as all other married couples?

Answer 5

It's considered wrong by certain people because of their point of view. It could be religious because it said so in whatever religious doctrines they use. This is probably the most common reason. It also could be because it's not 'normal' because people fear of something they don't know or understand.

------------

Usually people will say it's because of religious belief, although sometimes it could just be resistance to change.

Another perspective:

It could be a matter of conflicting beliefs. It could be a matter of resistance to change. It could also be the knowledge that marriage is not a guaranteed right for anyone. All the law saws regarding marriage (federally) is that marriages in one state are to be recognized by others. There are exception to this rule such as common law marriage and same gender marriages in states that specifically do not recognize this by that state's laws.

Answer 6

as there no possibility of producing child.

Alternate Viewpoint:Same-sex marriage is not morally wrong. A loving relationship does not become immoral merely because of the gender of the participants.

Answer 7

The Supreme Courts of the United States, Canada and Mexico have all ruled that same-sex couples have a constitutional right to marry. Therefore, a law preventing same-sex couples from marrying cannot stand. The truth is there is no legitimate reason for same-sex marriage to be made illegal, especially not if you mean that it should be criminalized.

Answer 8

It specifically states in the bible that anyone who practices homosexuality will never know the benefits of heaven.... basically it is a sin.

Answer 9

Depends on your beliefs. Some people have no problem others it conflict with their values

Answer 10

The controversy is caused by bigotry and hatred under the guise of religious belief.
