Same Sex Marriage and the Children that it Effects

Children of same sex married couples will be subjected to shame and ridicule. The perception of marriage will be destroyed if Americans don't unite and demand the Federal Marriage Amendment is passed.

Ardmore, OK (PRWEB) May 3, 2004 -- Same Sex Marriage and the Children that it Effects. The issue on same sex marriage seems to contain a key element that is not often addressed. How are the children of same sex couples affected and how will they, in turn, effect America? What will the response of a child be to a father son event when that child has two mothers and there has been no divorce or decease of the other parent? In fact that parent, in most instances, is not known to the child. Why are Americans condoning or worse yet encouraging the increase in that census group? Because of so-called civil rights? Civil rights are not about morality choices, civil rights are about not discriminating against personal attributes that cannot be changed. The shame and ridicule these children are subjected to because of immorality that is being established by a secular agenda is deplorable.

Marriage in America should remain the sacred institution it has been since the country was founded. Paul McGuire, a conservative radio talk-show host for Crawford Broadcasting Corp., speaks to a large syndicated audience every weekday afternoon from his studio in Los Angeles. McGuire believes a future including gay marriage usurps the traditional components of a union between a husband and a wife. "Social studies confirm that children do best when you have [both] a mom and a dad," the radio host says, adding that "psychological fallout will result" when society confuses its inhabitants by changing a social order (traditional marriage) that has been the cornerstone for every major civilization since the beginning of man."

On a recent show, McGuire alluded to an article from World magazine that chronicles 10+ years of social history in several Scandinavian countries where homosexual marriage was first introduced. When heterosexual marriage began to deminish in Scandinavia in the early 1990s, traditional marriage was gradually replaced by live-in relationships. Sociologists found that parents in those countries became less committed to their partners and to their children. If this happens in America, McGuire sees "a society where the state raises the children ... [and marriage is replaced] by a series of sexual relationships."

Randy Thomasson is the executive director for Campaign for California Families, one of the few political action groups that is legally resisting gay marriage in Sacramento. If homosexual marriage is legalized, Thomasson sees a future "where children as young as kindergarten are taught that two men in bed is normal." With the Democratically controlled legislature in his state already enacting laws that actively seek to enforce hate crimes (as the secularists define them), Thomasson is concerned that "churches will be forced to marry homosexual couples." Resistance from pastors could result in lawsuits, criminal charges, and hate crime prosecution. Thomasson can see a future where churches "will lose their religious freedom ... and their tax-free status" if pastors take a stand and refuse to marry homosexual couples.

The Institute for Promoting Responsibility Integrity Decency and Ethics is a non-profit organization that is vowing to take the issue to the American people and incite citizens to action. If the American people dont start to contact their representatives in congress the marriage amendment act will die in committee. The destruction of marriage as we know it will commensurate if citizens dont unite and voice their support of marriage recognized only between a man and a woman.
