What is same sex marriage?
Same sex marriage is about two people of the same sex who live together as
a family; "the legal status of same-sex marriages has been hotly
debated".
Now who is on the on the good side and who is on the bad side?
CONS OF SAME SEX MARRIAGE
What does the government think about same-sex marriage.
1.Income Taxes will be increased to make up for the marriage tax
benefits given to homosexual couples and to pay for the social costs resulting
from the increase in illegitimacy. We provide financial benefits to married
couples because they produce and care for children. Why should homosexual
couples get the same benefits as men and women raising children? Moreover,
providing financial incentives for homosexual unions would be doubly
counterproductive. First, taxpayers would be subsidizing, and thus encouraging
destructive behavior. Second, we then would pay for the results of that
behavior in the form of increased medical and social costs.
2.Social security taxes will be increased (or benefits decreased) in
order to pay survivor support benefits to homosexual “widows” and “widowers.”
3.Medical insurance premiums will rise to offset the higher health
care costs associated with homosexual behavior (i.e., AIDS, colon cancer,
hepatitis and other diseases) which will likely increase if we approve same-sex
marriage. Medical premiums would rise further if insurance companies are
mandated to cover fertility treatments for lesbian couples
4.Employee benefits will be reduced as employers are mandated to
spread their limited benefit dollars to include homosexual partners.
5.Your government and its intrusive ways will grow as a result of
the changes we have just reviewed. That’s another reason why liberals love
same-sex marriage—it means more big government. They will call for more
government programs to fix the mess caused by the destruction of the family and
more government regulation to ensure that their new morality of political correctness
is imposed on you, your children, and your place of worship.
Now this is the church's opinion on Same sex marriage. It can from the
Vatican. From the pope himself. Pope Bendict XVI He said:
"People dispute the idea that they have a nature, given to them by
their bodily identity, that serves as a defining element of the human being.
They deny their nature and decide that it is not something previously given to
them, but that they make it for themselves. The manipulation of nature, which
we deplore today where our environment is concerned, now becomes man's
fundamental choice where he himself is concerned."
He also argued that the trend towards marriage equalization is a
"crisis that threatens [the family] to its foundations — especially in the
Western world. When such commitment is repudiated, the key figures of human
existence likewise vanish: father, mother, child — essential elements of the
experience of being human are lost."
The church doesn't approve any of the same sex marriage petition. Because they
believe that its not the nature of a human being to be with the same sex.
I also ask some of my friends who are against same-sex marriage
She said
"Because i respect the human nature that only a man and a woman can be married based on the bibble woman is for men not for men"
"Because i respect the human nature that only a man and a woman can be married based on the bibble woman is for men not for men"
My other friend said
"Even though we line a free country and i personally respect
everyone's point of view, I have to disagree with this one Marriage is meant
for a man and a woman. Yes, I feel as thought the pursuit of happiness is the
key in life Yet, In most religions, Same sex marriage is considered a
sin".
My other friend also said
"I'm against it. Because first thing is I'm a religous person and i based on the words of God I respet the feeling and emotions of other people but it is a sin according to the bible. Second is i know that many people say "Love is Blind", It does not matter what you are or who you are as long as you love each other keep fighting "I do believe in that saying but there's a proper logic for that statement. It doesn't mean that love is blind you could love the same gender. It is very improper in the eyes of the Lord although he loves us as who we are. That's why God made Adam and Eve to promote the proper mutual relationship of a men and women."
Another friend of mine said.
"I am against it. Because based on the Bible, God only made two people. One man and one woman. "
"I am against it. Because based on the Bible, God only made two people. One man and one woman. "
THE PROS FOR SAME SEX MARRIAGE
There a individuals out there who supports same-sex marriage. Because they belive in equality.
His name is Eugenio Abunda Jr. or better known as his stage name
"Boy" Abunda. His an actor, And yes his gay. His part of a group
called LGBT (Lesbian,Gay,Bisexual,Transgender). He is also a gay activist.
He agrees on same sex marriage. Because he believes in equality.
He said to his speech before about the issue on same sex marriage here in Philippines
"Nobody deserves the hatred of anyone, based on sexual orientation and gender identity. I support the campaign against homophobia because it is a crime. It’s not just a crime against the LGBT community but the entire humanity,” His launching a campaign it's called "I dare to care about equality" It's all about the day where we recognized are equality whether you're a homosexual, bisexual, or heterosexual. Equality is what matters.

He is fighting for the rights of homosexuals who are being harrassed and
being hated on. His words mean alot to those who are being abused physically
and verbally.
There are some other people also whom i ask personally if they are a pro or
against same sex marriage.
She said
"I respect each individual's feelings towards another. We can't command someone's feelings and it's their own decision."

Bibliography:
All in all most people did not agreed on the same sex marriage here in
Philippines. But that doesn't change the fact that my opinion will change as
well. I support the gay community. My uncle is gay aswell i love him no matter
what. Who are we to judge them, They are not bothering us or hurting anyone. So
it concludes that the conflict between the gay community and the church is
still going. Because equality is what matter to the gay community while the
Church respects on what the Bible taught us. So to me I support same sex
marriage here in Philippines. Why? Because if someone adorns someone with the
same sex , They should be together,Its part of life. Everyone deserves to be
happy with someone regardless of the
gender. They don't bother us. So why bother their sexuality and decisions.
"Marriage is about mutual love, respect and support."
Just how homosexuals have also have the right to love each other just like
a man for a woman.
