Gay Marriage And Family

Gay Marriage and Family

Making gay marriage legal, and give these marriage rights as traditional families will have a negative impact to society but especially to children.

For five thousand years the overwhelming majority of the civilized world has defined marriage as the union of one man and one woman. And now, the family as we know it is about to end. Family is no longer the union of a mother, a father, and their children. Now, by San Francisco's Mayor unilateral decision, family is the union by a first and a second applicant.

These researchers found these results from the evaluation of twenty one psychological studies between nineteen eighty one and nineteen ninety eight on kids growing up in lesbian homes.

Besides all the above stated, gay marriage will legitimate the practice of homosexuality and it will separate procreation from marriage because gay couples will marry. But, they will never procreate children.
