Don't Force Gay Values On Others (Gleaner Letter)

As the homophobes continue to crawl out of the woodwork in response to recent issues chief among them the New York State in the US adoption of gay marriage rights to same gender loving couples, this writer sounds like one of those elitist expatriates who feel a little "foreign" exposure qualifies them to tell the rest of us here how to think. We do not need that and the stupid arguments presented shows a deep underlined fear of the unknown, unknown in as far as their obviously limited view on homosexuality.

Being a homosexual is not all about sex.

Here is the letter decide for yourself what this is all about.

Jamaica Gleaner Company

THE EDITOR, Sir:

I cannot help but agree with Carol Campbell that Jamaica should retain and enforce its laws against buggery rather than pander to the hedonistic, queer mentality of other nations.

There is nothing, from both a scientific and biblical view, that supports the perversion of homosexual activity. The Bible condemns it and science has affirmed that there is no gay gene.

Homosexuals want their abnormality accepted because, they claim, it harms no one. This is not true.

Same-sex marriage has a profoundly negative impact on the welfare of children. A large body of social scientific research indicates that children thrive best with a mother and father who teach them gender identity and sex role expectations. This was the conclusion of a committee of the French National Assembly, which recommended, in January 2006, that France not accept same-sex marriage because of its detrimental effect on children.

Same-sex marriages are not functionally equivalent to opposite-sex marriages, but are different in structure, values and practice.

Collision course

The legalisation of same-sex marriage in Canada has put law and religion on a collision course.

Religion-based social services, such as counselling and adoption services, are now required to conform to the same-sex marriage law. The tax-exempt status of churches has become the subject of intimidation and harassment. Those who favour same-sex marriages are free to speak their views, but those opposed to them are being harassed and coerced into refraining from doing so.

Within school boards, teachers and other individuals are being forced to deny their religious beliefs and freedom of speech by being required to promote same-sex marriage, and publicly refraining from expressing any opposition to it.

School boards in Quebec and Ontario now require homosexual 'education' in their school systems. Such programmes do not provide balanced instruction on the issue, and the medical, psychological and legal impact of homosexuality are not mentioned.

As these examples show, these are monumental consequences to same-sex marriage. Are these the kind of changes we want?

The acceptance of homosexuality is just the first step. Then comes homosexual marriage and polygamy. Eventually, marriage will be nothing more than a social contract to have sex with consenting partners of any age. Religions will then be outlawed and anarchy will rule.

My Two cents:

I gave a short answer in the comments section which I doubt will be published as recently my last few attempts have gone unapproved so here it is:

Where is your proof that homosexuality is abnormal when several other species in the animal kingdom also display same sex attraction such as Zebras, Lions and Giraffes?

Marriage has always been a contract you idiot, marriage has undergone many changes based on cultural practices, legal and legislative changes and practices all with some state recognition towards benefits of some sort being attributed, what is this inherent fear that somehow heterosexual rights and marriage is going to be affected or reduced somehow?

There are gay people in the world, not all of us are meant to procreate in my view if so the population of the world would have tripled or quadrupled by now ..... get over it!!!! plus you don't live here what right you have to dictate what happens here?

Peace and tolerance
