This post
is the continuation of my post Happiness Outside The Cliché
This post has the
following purposes:
a. To expose
and contradict empirical preconceptions (social agendas) regarding
homosexuality, gay marriage and gay parenting.
b. To get
religious and other highly prejudiced persons into thinking and reconsidering
their stand in the matter and to get them to stick their fucking prejudices up
their asses (pray the lord you don't enjoy it)
c. To create
an space for discussion of the subject
Foreseeing
the mandatory stupid comments of equally stupid people and although it is not
of your fucking business, I'm a heterosexual male so this is a post made by a
straight person and not by a homosexual person who wants the whole world to be
gay.
To make the
post shorter, I'll omit all the references but if you are a person who likes to
think and based your opinions on reason and scientific facts, I got most of the
data from the American Psychological Association; here is the link to more
complete information:Lesbian And Gay Parenting
At last, the following are WRONG ideas which people commonly believe WITHOUT ANY EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THEM. In other words, I´m against these ideas and here are the reasons why:
1. Homosexuality is unnatural
This is a weak preconception. The fact is human
being is an entity formed mainly by two dimensions: biological and social. Our
social nature has leads us to transcend our biological role (for better or
worst) so now we destroy nature, built our concrete homes, get dressed, drive
highly contaminating machines and eat synthetic food, most of it with no real
nutritional value. Does any of the above seem natural to you? So judging a
sexual orientation by calling it unnatural is not rational at all because
mankind stopped being natural ages ago despite its biological origin.
2. Gays and lesbians are mentally
ill
Wrong!!! "The
psychiatric, psychological, and social work professions do not consider
homosexual orientation to be a mental disorder. Extensive research conducted
over three decades showed that homosexual orientation is not a psychological
maladjustment There is no reliable evidence that homosexual orientation per se
impairs psychological functioning."
3. Gays and lesbians would be bad
parents
Wrong
Again!! "Lesbian and heterosexual women have not been found to differ markedly
either in their overall mental health or in their approaches to child rearing. Similarly,
lesbians' romantic and sexual relationships with other women have not been
found to detract from their ability to care for their children. Research on gay
fathers likewise suggests that they are likely to divide the work involved in
child care relatively evenly and that they are happy with their couple
relationships"
4. Children with gay or lesbian
parents are more likely to become homosexuals
This is one
of the main fears of the detractors of gay marriage. Homophobic persons´ fear
of a gay society if gay marriage is allowed has no evidence to support it. "The
great majority of offspring of both lesbian mothers and gay fathers described
themselves as heterosexual. Taken together, the data do not suggest elevated rates
of homosexuality among the offspring of lesbian or gay parents". In other
words, gay marriages would produce unprejudiced human beings, go figured!!
5. Marriage
is a holy institution and it can not be stain by the corruption of
homosexuality
When I speak
of gay marriage, I refer to the legal marriage with all the rights and duties
it involve, including the right to adopt or to procreate children. There can
not be gray areas, either you accept them or not. So the marriage I believe
should be allowed for homosexuals is the civil one, if they want to be as
unhappy as most heterosexual marriages, fucking let them!! As for the common
marriages rituals of the different religions, there is no discussion that no
religion has the obligation to accept a gay marriage ceremony if its believes don't
accept them. As you know, one can not argue with faith because it listens to no
arguments, it is "blind" although I would call it "highly idiotic".
So, what is
your opinion of the matter? If you are against it, which are your reasons?
