The definition is quite clear that marriage is the union
between a man and a woman. So why do we want that changed? Shouldn’t we have a terminology that describes
same sex unions only? Are we that desperate to be the “same”???
I see too often the need to be politically correct, but in
this instance I think we’re missing the point entirely! What we really want and
need is the legal right of union not the legal right to use the word “Marriage”
to describe our union.
Religiously speaking, do we seriously think that the
Christian group would ever accept the change to include same sex couples in
marriage? Their only argument so far has been that marriage is between a man
and a woman as dictated in the bible and they have effectively used that to
block all attempts to legalise same sex unions using that exact reason. So what
would happen if we use a different terminology? Have we stop and thought about
that!
There is no doubt that we are different and yet the same, but
to try and change the meaning of marriage would be like trying to change the
meaning of “Caucasian” to include other races…it just wouldn’t work and it
shouldn’t work! We should be proud of the fact that we are different and not
try to conform to general terminologies and ideals. To try and do so is not
only painful but renders no positive result!
