Which parent is dispensable in a “gay marriage,” the mother or the father?
Dispensable: capable of being dispensed with or done without; not necessary or essential. If two men “marry” each other, or two women “marry” each other, and if children come under their authority, those children either have no mother or no father in the home. Those who argue for “gay marriage” must think that one parent is dispensable. My question is, which one?
By the way, why do supporters of “gay marriage” discern bigotry is Y!A questions? Is there something in asking a question that refuses to recognize rights for others we enjoy ourselves? If so, what?
It appears to me that anyone who interferes with the freedom of homosexual people to do anything they want to do is a person who is dispensable, at least in the opinion of any homosexual persons involved. That most definitely is true about a child’s father and mother. As far as proponents of the absurdity of homosexual marriage are concerned, the rights of homosexuals in such a relationship are superior to the rights of any other person, especially to any rights of a child adopted by such homosexual couples, or born into such a household with at least one parent not a part of the household.
To bring a child intentionally into a household in which there is not both a father and a mother is gravely selfish, unless the child in question has no other possible place to live – which in the United States and most Western nations almost never is the case. The painful truth is that homosexual couples often are willing to do almost anything to satisfy their own selfish desires. It matters to them not at all that they might subject another person to severe social embarrassment, inadequate parenting, and daily education into a perverted lifestyle. If that’s what a child must endure in order for a homosexual couple to feel fulfilled, then that is what many homosexual couples are willing to inflict on a child.
Vast data exist that show children to be physically and mentally more healthy when they are raised in a household with a married man and woman who are the parents of children in the household. The selfish rubbish published by many researchers throughout the 1960’s and 1970’s that claimed children do just fine in households with divorced or single parents has been shown to be just plain false. Children deserve a mother and a father. If they do not have both, they are deprived.
Moms matter. Dads matter. To deprive a child of a mother or a father is frankly abusive of that child. Children are not accessory items to be added to a household for the pleasure of anyone else in the household. Children have an innate right to be treated as individuals who need a healthy and protective household. Children have a right not to be subjected to the perverted choices and lifestyles of anyone.
Homosexuality is a perversion. A highly politicized 1970’s election by members of the American Psychiatric Association can not change that. That homosexuality is a perversion does not make people with a homosexual preference rotten human beings who ought to be hated and utterly rejected by society. That homosexuality is a perversion means that society ought NOT to help homosexual people to be content with and fulfilled in their perverted sexuality. It is unreasonable to demand that society call a relationship a marriage when it is utterly contrary to a marriage. Same sex persons can not, by natural definition and by common sense, be married. No law can make an absurdity not be absurd.
If people who have a homosexual preference truly believe that their homosexual relationships are legitimate, then they should stop pretending that those relationships are something that they are not. Homosexual relationships are not marriages. That is a natural fact, and in most places an accepted bit of common sense and civil law. Homosexual relationships are not suitable parental relationships because they necessarily deprive a child of either a mother or father. That is profoundly unjust to a child, and should not be allowed.
True charity is not tolerance of everything – that is indifference. True charity and mercy include honesty and defense of justice, especially concerning the rights of children. Children never should intentionally be deprived of a mother or of a father. To do so would be gravely unjust to a child.
People with a homosexual preference should be well aware of the difficulties they face in living their chosen lifestyle. Accusations abound of discrimination and social rejection. For anyone to subject a child to a household that is practically certain to be subjected to strong social disapproval and rejection is thoughtless and abusive of a child. It is not loving. It is just purely selfish thoughtlessness.
I hope and pray for peace in the lives of all people. I pity anyone who has the burden of being sexually attracted to people with whom they are not suitable sexual partners. I pray that they accept their burden patiently, and that they especially accept that their perverted sexuality is their own burden to carry, and ought not to be placed in any way on the shoulders of an innocent child.
I am Roman Catholic.
Peace be with you.
