Dear Editor,
Seven months ago I, a male, was married to a woman.
I am getting tired of people trying to take the sanctity of my marriage and throw it in the dirt with “civil unions.”
It seems that these days all everyone cares about is the minority. The minorities have all the voices. It’s OK for gays and lesbians to have gay pride week, but I can only imagine the consequences if I tried to have a hetero pride week.
And before it’s even said, I know what the gay and lesbians will say, “Well, every other week is hetero week.”
I am so tried of the minorities getting everything they want, and the majority getting crapped on.
To call a union of two persons of the same sex a “marriage” is a misnomer. In the Bible, marriage is a divinely ordered institution designed to form a permanent union between one man and one woman for one purpose (among others) of procreating or propagating the human race.
That was God’s order in the first of such unions (Genesis 1:27, 28; 2:24; Matthew 19:5). If, in His original creation of humans, God had created two persons of the same sex, there would not be a human race in existence today.
The whole idea of two persons of the same sex marrying is absurd, unsound, ridiculous and unreasonable. A clergyman might bless a homosexual marriage but God won’t.
Why is it OK for the gay and lesbians to hate on me because I don’t agree with their lifestyle?
I want everyone to understand that I am not out to hate gays and lesbians. One of my closest friends is gay. The one thing he seems to understand that no one else does is, agree to disagree.
Just because I don’t agree with his lifestyle doesn’t mean I hate him.
