Gay Marriage

Gay Marriage Argument Essay When the world was created, and however that may have been, it was created with a purpose and a plan, that plan did not and should not ever involve same sex marriages. Gay marriages should return to being outlawed in all states. This country was founded on biblical principals and the government is making decisions going against those principals. The government recently made a decision allowing these marriages in many states, here is what Tim Wildman, President of the American Family Association has to say. "This is a deeply saddening day because the government not only allowed but encouraged same sex marriages in this country." Everyday this country gets farther and farther from how it started, a good, hard working, god loving, free country. Many people say that if this country is free then they should be able to be homosexual. By making that decision, it takes away the freedom of others, the freedom of religious beliefs. Being a big Christian and walking around the streets looking at men and women kissing people of the same sex is like Martin Luther King Jr. walking into a Ku Klux Klan meeting. People should not be forced to accept something that goes against the foundation they grew up on. Speaking of growing up, every child deserves the right to grow up and be raised by the mother and father that created him/her. A child growing up with homosexual parents will be treated differently, or even bullied. That is the truth of society today, it is how this countries youth have been shaped. Also a child in that circumstance might be pressured to be something he is not. Imagine a straight young boy with two dads and how much pressure that boy may be feeling to be like his dads, or how he may feel guilty if he is not like them. Nobody wants a child to go through this. Although gay marriage rights groups have said in the past, "God has created us equal and so we have a right to make equal choices." After this they gave a bible verse restating that claim. Well it also states in the bible many times that god is against homosexuality and making those choices is a sin against him (Tenety 3). So the sources, in which the gay marriage rights groups got their information, are not entirely in their favor and that makes their claim a lot less strong. To further prove that this sin should be outlawed I will brief you about something that happened in the great state of Colorado. "In Denver, baker Jack Phillips, the owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop, is facing state sanctions for refusing to work on gay weddings" (Jones 1). Mr. Phillips claims that his religious beliefs prevent him from working on such ceremonies and it has nothing to do with a "hatred of gays." The gay couple that was refused did not want to comment on the matter with anyone because they felt "terribly insulted" (Jones 1). There are many more cases of gay couples forcing people to go against their beliefs, and if they don"t then they get a lawsuit! It is true that President Obama once said, "If we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well. "Yes everyone is created equal, and every child is equally entitled to life and the love of the mother and father that created that child. That is how the world is meant to function (Gallagher 2). To marry a person of the same sex and go against the worlds proper way to function, should be outlawed everywhere so people don"t mess up the natural flow of things. Remember that everyone is created equal, but we are created to live in a way that works. We live on the biblical principals of those who founded this country, don"t let the government shy away from those principals any farther. Either make this country work the way it is supposed to with families that function the way they are supposed to, or start tearing this countries foundation down belief by belief. Where do you stand?
