Gay Marriage..

My opinion on gay marriage is simple. I don't support it. I'm not homophobic and I don't judge people based on the fact of them being gay but I don't support them and what they do either. In Kathy Pollitt's essay What's Wrong with Gay Marriage? she stated "Whatever may have been the case in the past, what undergirds marriage in most people's minds today is not some sociobiological theory about reproduction or male socialization-----It's love, commitment, stability" (461). I agree that marriage is about love, commitment, and stability, but I also know for a fact that two men or two women that are in a relationship can't reproduce. God made Adam and Eve(Man and Woman) for a reason. He didn't intend for us the be in relationships with someone of the same sex because he is all for reproduction and creating new life and is against being effeminate. I feel as though "we", as a society, have ignored the fact that this it isn't the way he wants us to live. Some people use excuses such as: "God loves everyone", and true he does love you, but just because he loves you, doesn't mean that he won't punish you. In fact, Hebrews 12:6 states "because the lord disciplines the ones he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son". So to conclude, gay marriage is something I don't support.
