"Anti-gay, Anti- Family

It's been a while since America has been dealing with the issue of homosexuality. Large wars have been fought about this issue. Will it ever be solved? America is known across the world for having a large homosexual population. The international students at Winthrop will can all attest to this fact. They often inquire about, "The Gays", as my Indian roommate terms this group. Most often their views toward homosexuality are not well thought of. Last night at the dinner table, we made fun of a person of whom a homosexual male had an attraction to. That person was not very happy about the other male who liked him. Then, a very interesting discussion arose from our friendly ridicule about homosexuality. The students all viewed homosexuality in a negative way. A common view of it was "disgusting". But opinions about America and homosexuality are blinding to the facts of homosexuality. Gays and Lesbians now are seeking civil unions, domestic partnerships, and marriages. The battle is with the traditional approach of marriage. Traditional and true marriage is a commitment between a man and his wife. This is how it has been for centuries across the world. True marriage must not be changed to befit other types of loving relationships. This would totally screw up what marriage is about. And if marriage is allowed between two males or two women, then were will it stop? Should two family members who love each other get married because they love each other? No, not in this day and age! Previously in earlier times marriage was enacted between cousins or even brother and sister. But it was always an abomination for homosexual relationships to even exist! If two men or women want to get together, live and love each other, fine, but don't call it marriage! Marriage is between man and his wife! Period!
