Same Sex Marriages? by Definition, It Cannot Exist
Same Sex Marriages? By Definition, It Cannot Exist

What is marriage? This word has different meanings for different people. To some marriage means a commitment between two people in holy matrimony, or religious marriage. To others it is just a legal contract between two people, or civil marriage. In actuality there is only one definition for a marriage.
According to Webster‘s Dictionary, a marriage is a state of living together as husband and wife joined in wedlock. Webster also identifies a husband as a man and a wife as a woman. Same sex marriages are morally and ethically wrong, and they are also impossible to occur (according to our modern language). Same sex marriages, even though inappropriate, can be solved without upsetting both sides of the scale. Many same sex marriage supporters argue, "Why does every legal and political issue always have to be complicated by making it a moral and ethical question?" If there were no morals or ethics in government, society as we know it could not exist. It is unthinkable how someone can make this point. If these people had some logic and thoughtfulness in their minds as well as in their hearts, they would not be making these ridiculous comments. Arguments of this type are the cause of crime and poverty in our country. People don't know the difference between right and wrong. Children need a mother and a father to teach family values and the difference between right and wrong. The world would be a much better place if everyone had a parent or a teacher to show the them the proper path.
Unfortunately, this is not the case. If more of society would put a priority on their children and their future, there could be fewer problems faced by the community as a whole. If no one takes into account morals and ethics into their decision making, these deplorable situations could lead to a catastrophe.
If no one has any morals or ethics, this great nation would come to its decline.
If no one has any morals

    The promoters of same-sex “marriage” propose something entirely different. They propose the union between two men or two women. This denies the self-evident biological, physiological, and psychological differences between men and women which find their complementarily in marriage. It also denies the specific primary purpose of marriage: the…

    Hope that you all thoroughly enjoyed the last lazy days of summer, and have settled into the cool, crisp, weather of fall. We traded baseball and softball games for football and soccer, and fall softball leagues, so we still have no rest around here! Our men and women’s basketball and volleyball seasons are in full swing at the college, so almost 5 or 6 nights a week, I get to watch somebody play some kind of “ball”! I guess that’s what keeps me going! Was able to have a nice visit in October with Allan and Dot Brennecke and Bill Brenecke in St. Louis. Aunt Marilyn and I took a road trip to see them and we hope that you all enjoy the many photos they shared for this edition, and some to go in the January edition. I have some excerpts from letters written by Ed Brennecek, Allan and Bill’ father, to their mother before they were married. Ed mentions Pete French several times in his letters from 1918 anyone have a few tales on Pete? I know he is related to Erma (Harding) Merrill on her mom’s side. I can barely remember him as a kid, seems like the school we Merrill kids rode went by their house.…

    The proposed legalization of same-sex marriage is one of the most significant issues in contemporary American family law. As a heavily campaigned development currently discussed in law assessment; these extremely confrontational and debatable political questions are facing present day American courts. If same-sex marriage is legalized, its affect on the parents, children, same sex couples, families, and the social and political world will be astronomical. The arguments surrounding the issue though confrontational nonetheless are easily seen from a wide array of perspectives. One of the perspectives states that marriage is a promise to a spouse to stay loyal and faithful in all aspects of the words. The act of marriage includes financial, legal and social responsibilities for each partner. No matter the composition of the couple, the rules of marriage are the same from most every angle. In the act of marriage two adults bond and lawfully and often, religiously, make a promise to take on its responsibilities. The greatest question, however, is to the sole reason as to why homosexual marriages should be declared illegal or nonexistent.…

    Should Gay Marriage be Legalized? Gay marriage has been a critical topic in many countries since 1924. Around the year 2000, countries such as America and the UK started approving gay marriages, although not everyone agreed with this decision. Still in 2013, homosexuals are fighting for their right to get married to someone of their same sex. People against gay marriage feel that if it was to be legalized, the importance of marriage would fade away and some people would refer to marriage in a different way. According to an article from the Human Rights Campaign, there is nothing wrong with allowing homosexuals to have the same rights as those who are heterosexual. Every individual person should have equal rights, regardless of sexuality. Gay marriage should be legalized in all states and countries, as it has been held off for too long.…

    Ethics of Same Sex Marriage

    Same sex marriage is something that people have been fighting for rights for many decades. Andrew Koppelman (2004), celebrated journalist and author, states that “Most Americans agree with the first sentence of the proposed amendment: "Marriage in the United States shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman." The main question this raises is whether this rule is important enough to enshrine in the Constitution” (p.4). Many Americans can agree that the first sentence of the amendment is broad and that it invalidates domestic partnership laws that allow same sex couples the rights of marriage without the name (Koppelman, 2004).…

    Will Rogers once said, “We will never have true civilization until we have learned to recognize the rights of others”. But, many will argue that this should not apply to all liberties of the American people; in fact they will differ with anyone who threatens their idea of right and immoral. For most, this argument begins with Gay Marriage.…

    Gay marriage ought to be official because it is uncivilized and unjust. Our civil rights and the Constitution give us numerous authorizations. One of our civil liberties is the search of contentment, which homosexual people are not allowed to pursuit. They cannot be married to the person they love and it disrupts their self-determinations. In Alaska, Nevada, Montana, Oregon, Utah, Nebraska, Missouri, Michigan, North Dakota, Ohio, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Kansas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Alabama, not only is gay marriage banned, but thus are public partnerships.…

    Secondly, the reason why the decline in morals and value around the world is troubling is because I feel that people are no longer willing to sacrifice a little for the better of their respected country. Here in the US alone we see this problem. In a country where the nation’s budget is running at record deficits no one is willing to sacrifice for the better of the country. For example, the US military is the largest and the world we spend more money on our military than the next three countries on the list combined. But ask any military person if they want a cut to the budget of…
